  If I understand your question, you don't have start-stop-daemon now, right?

  In your particular case, if /sbin/start-stop-daemon doesn't exist, your install is hosed: this is included in the package of dpkg, the Debian package manager. Try reinstalling dpkg and see if it fixes the problem.

  In general, the procedure is:

  (1) install apt-file
  (2) run "apt-file update"
  (3) run "apt-file search "
