Further experimentation reveals that by omitting the "expect daemon"
stanza everything works fine. But I'm still a confused - the manpage
says:
expect daemon
Specifies that the job's main process is a daemon, and will fork
twice after being run. init(8) will follow this daemonisation,
and will wait for this to occur before running the job's post-
start script or considering the job to be running.
Without this stanza init(8) is unable to supervise daemon pro‐
cesses and will believe them to have stopped as soon as they
daemonise on startup.
So I would have expected it to be necessary in this case. Maybe this is
more an upstart issue than a python-daemon one - not sure.
