Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

dpkg 1.19.3 was migrated to testing only a couple days before smokeping
2.7.3-1, so maybe when Antoine and I were working on this release our
tests were running on a previous dpkg version: I've tested out an
install of smokeping on a fresh install with the init script but I
didn't notice any error about the pid.

I'll run more tests to try and reproduce this.
