afaict it worked out of the box, I'm only concerned with logs not being
in the location one would expect

a pid-file is not a lock, maybe there is some confusion here?  The
pid-file is only there for start-stop-daemon and alike programs that

`ps ax | grep '[m]erovingian' | cut -c1-7 | xargs kill`
or something else that gives little control to what should actually be
killed.
