Upstream already had changed the init script, but I don't understand it fully.

(looking at master, commit b63ec2128f324610404efa991456b6206095531d File: debian/proftp-basic.init )
My questions:
1) Why exit if $2 is 0? (row 118)
2) Is it necessary to call start-stop-daemon twice if the first it exits with nonzero return value? (row 111 and 115)
3) row 123 looks wrong, attaching simple patch.
4) what is missing to close this ticket and make a corrected .deb? I'm willing to help but know little.
