Title:
  status_of_proc lacks a "-p" in /etc/init.d/pptpd

Status in pptpd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pptpd source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released
Status in pptpd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in pptpd package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The "status" target in /etc/init.d/pptpd doesn't work, because the
  call to status_of_proc lacks a "-p" before "$PIDFILE". Example:

  # /etc/init.d/pptpd start
   * Starting PoPToP Point to Point Tunneling Server pptpd                                                                                                                                                    [ OK ] 
  # ps aux | grep pptpd
  root     16211  0.0  0.0  10684   680 ?        Ss   17:51   0:00 /usr/sbin/pptpd
  root     16305  0.0  0.0  18236   904 pts/0    S+   17:51   0:00 grep --color=auto pptpd
  # /etc/init.d/pptpd status
   * /usr/sbin/pptpd is not running

  This happens because status_of_proc takes $PIDFILE as $DAEMON, and
  tries to use the file "/var/run/pptpd.pid.pid" as source for the PID
  of the program. Adding "-p" solves the problem.

  The version tested is 1.3.4+27+gddb30f8-1ubuntu1. Output of lsb_release -rd is:
  Description:    Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
  Release:        14.04
