Bug Description
I have a daemon that is not able to intercept a killing signal and do the necessary clean up, by killing its own child processes.
Rather than coding a pretty complicated solution to that problem, I found it much easier to modify the start-stop-daemon program with a new option, --killpg. I attach the patch, it is tested and in operation now and works just fine. I hope that you will consider making this a part of future releases; it is a small change that does a really useful thing; I thought that other people than myself could profit from it.
best regards

The patch is made against trusty tahr beta 1 dpkg, version 1.17.5ubuntu5
