Bug#714710: dpkg: when installed from live usb/cd /sbin/start-stop-daemon is empty shell script

Hi thanks Edwin for reporting the details on your side. This is exactly what I have experienced in my case and spent about 4-5h looking for an issue with nfs and why it is not mounting remote dir, why portmap was not running etc. I did check the current 7.x installer debian-7.1.0-amd64-netinst.is
