Release candidate one still contains the following change:

LSB 2:
"Compliant implementations may use other mechanisms besides those based
on pidfiles, unless the -p pidfile option has been used."

LSB 3rc1:
1. [Use PID file given by -p <pidfile> argument]
2. [Use /var/run/basename.pid]
3. "Optionally, if neither of the above methods has determined the process
identifiers required, implementations may use unspecified additional
methods to locate the process identifiers required."

The latter allows the use of other means (than the PID file) even if the -p
<pidfile> option has been given.
Among other potential problems, this prevents running the same daemon twice with
different PID files (and configuration files/ports). This actually happend here
and thus I had to create my own start_daemon/killproc function.
