If there is a "standard" start-stop-daemon (I suppose there is,
but I don't use Debian, so I don't know for sure), it's better
to match it, I think.

With the patch Natanael just tested, bbox ssd supports:

--chuid <user>[:[<group>]]
or
--chuid :<group>

Does this match "standard"? If not, I will gladly take
patches which fix that...
