This is a false positive. start-stop-daemon is used to send a "long"
running one-shot initialization process to the background. The process
will on most system run for several minutes and then terminate.

Please advise how we should invoke our initialization process without
interfering with a longer apt run instead. If you don't come up with a
better idea, we will lintian-override our use of s-s-d in postinst

Greetings
