The initscript currently uses "make start" run from the root of the LP
tree.

Also, there are kind of two separate issues here - one is the not using
the -s flag as above. The other is that the pidfile is in the wrong
directory (/srv/launchpad.net/var rather
than /srv/lists.launchpad.net/var) - this means it takes longer for the
LOSA to find it and remove it as it's not in an expected location.
