I agree with Manoj's suggestion. The best way to go about it would be to
draft a complete proposal (including standardizing the output format), start
patching packages in unstable, and go from there.

FWIW, I think it would be appropriate to add an option to start-stop-daemon
to support this use case. It already has most of the necessary code, and it
would fit well with its existing interface.
