That's how it was under older versions of Debian, I believe. In Debian-1.2.? (some early version), I noticed the perl package didn't put in all of the links the other packages expect. For instance, /usr/bin/perl was missing. Make sure that the version of perl that the start-stop-daemon script "wants" is installed. The first line will be an absolute path to the perl interpreter. So, if it "wants" /usr/bin/perl, and that's missing, you'd do something like: ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.00307 /usr/bin/perl (You need to look and see what perl binary actually exists on you system - it might be different than what I have.)
