Isn't there a way to specify the user to the tango-db daemon? That
seems it would solve the problem nicely. It would also be nice if
it could handle the daemonization (and pidfile creation) by itself.

Well, using either getlogin(3) or cuserid(3) seems like a bad idea to
me, but changing that is something for the mysql developers to decide.
In any case this is not an issue with start-stop-daemon, this is a
problem with either tango-db or mysql, I'm reassigning to the former
for now and I'll let you sort it out from there.

I'm afraid you'll have to check with the mysql maintainers.
