Not sure if this is an answer to my questions from earlier or not.
But let me summerize this a little and please shout if I got something
wrong here:
- this problem is specific to kfreebsd port using jails
- and then only if freebsd native procfs is used instead of linprocfs.

So. Based on this, why would one not want to use linprocfs in the first
place?
If there is no reason to do so then I would close this bug (and his two
brothers).
Is there a way to detect if linprocfs has been used? Because it would
make sense to teach start-stop-daemon to check for this.
