Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the slow reply. gitdaemon's home
directory is /nonexistent, so do you mean something like
diff --git i/debian/git-daemon-sysvinit.git-daemon.init
w/debian/git-daemon-sysvinit.git-daemon.init
index cc98a00bad..e1ab4b3947 100644

(plus the analogous change for git-daemon-run)?
