deb-src-control(5), start-stop-daemon(8): small improvements
- Clarify that the Architecture field can contain architecture wildcards. - Clarify when start-stop-daemon can exit 0 when --oknodo is used. - Drop a sentence that was repeating something already said earlier. Reported-by: Helge Kreutzmann <debian@helgefjell.de>
