    Hi Guillem,

    please move /sbin/start-stop-daemon to /usr for the /usr-move aka DEP17.
    It's the last file in dpkg that needs moving and since it is essential,
    it's a prerequisite for doing the bootstrap work. Thanks in advance.

    Helmut

    Thanks for the patch! As mentioned on IRC at the time, I'll be going
    with an alternative solution, which I think I'll be uploading to
    experimental alongside another potentially disruptive refactoring change
    during the weekend.

    Thanks,
    Guillem
