Hi, Thank you so much for your exhaustive answer! The links helped me to solve my next issue as well, that's great! I thought Debian would focus on systemd, I better have looked for myself first.
In case someone else faces a similar issue and reads this, I like to add a detail. The patch provided by Sergio attached to #993048 is simple and very elegant, but did not work for me, because mosquitto.conf contains a pid_file option, too. By this, the directory still is needed. Additionally, I had to change this option to use a different filename, otherwise mosquitto tried to overwrite the file created by start-stop-deamon (user=root) and got EPERM (because user=mosquitto). Maybe the pid_file option could be removed from the configuration, or -u mosquitto added to start-stop-deamon, but I did not test this.
