Often daemon programs run into error conditions at startup, but too late to
return a proper error code from the daemonised process. All you get is the
parent's return code (and maybe a log message). This could be fixed in the
program itself and is no packaging problem.

Existance of the /proc/net/vlan/config file is mandatory, however. The daemon
terminates early with return code 1 if it cannot open that file. Therefore it
would be good to add a safety check to the initscript, so it refuses to start
if the VLAN config cannot be loaded at all.
