[Sam Umbach <761967@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The tomcat6 fix was to call start-stop-daemon with the -b (--background)
flag.  This may not be a proper fix here, as this would require both
opendkim and dk-filter packages to make the change (among other
packages, I assume) and could result in silent failures when starting
these daemons.

The most likely culprit I can find is
3706d6214a86593e72bc9514f08f3c4e0fd0a92c in
git://git.debian.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git, which changed the start-stop-
daemon behavior around opening, closing, and detaching from the tty.

Title:
  /etc/init.d/opendkim fails to start opendkim when run over ssh with a
  pseudo-tty

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: opendkim

  Without a pty, opendkim start and restart properly launch the opendkim milter daemon:
  $ ssh -T ubuntu@192.168.2.117 sudo /etc/init.d/opendkim restart
  Restarting OpenDKIM: opendkim.

  But if I force pty allocation (as I do in my Capistrano deployments), the opendkim daemon is NOT started:
  $ ssh -tt ubuntu@192.168.2.117 sudo /etc/init.d/opendkim restart
  Restarting OpenDKIM: opendkim.
  Connection to 192.168.2.117 closed.

  I will also report this issue to the opendkim team as I'm not sure if
  this is Ubuntu- or Debian-specific.
