Yes, and that would be desireable. Some packages (ab)use s-s-d to invoke a binary under a different account without creating syslog entries that might be confusing to users, and when that binary returns an exit code, we'd like to see it. For example, /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base uses s-s-d to invoke exim_tidydb as Debian-eim.
