If so you might try No, from what I can tell 'stop' works correctly, even if dhcpd was not started via start-stop-daemon / the init script. I can not see why start-stop-daemon thinks that dhcp is running. There is no pid file in /chroot/dhcp/var/run/dhcp/ or /var/run/dhcp or /var/lib/init.d/started.
