I want to run wzdftpd as non-root. (which is descripted in the first line of wzdftpd ubuntu packages description http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/jaunty/wzdftpd)
So my changes at /etc/wzdftpd/wzd.cfg were:
server_uid = nobody
server_gid = nogroup
default config for pid is this: pid_file = /var/run/wzdftpd/wzdftpd.pid
This is are the lines for pid-file creation in script /etc/default/wzdftpd
if [ ! -d /var/run/wzdftpd ]; then
mkdir /var/run/wzdftpd
chown ftp /var/run/wzdftpd
chmod 0755 /var/run/wzdftpd
fi
First bad thing is: chown ftp is hardcoded!
Better: Read value of server_uid from /etc/wzdftpd/wzd.cfg and user this for chown.
Second bad thing: If path of pid_file in /etc/wzdftpd/wzd.cfg has been changed (e.g. to /var/run/wzdftpd.pid)
the init.d script wouldn't work right anymore, because of this lines:

Better: Also read pid_file from /etc/wzdftpd/ wzd.cfg in init.d script
