It would be nice to expound a bit, like:
The ddclient service described below runs the ddclient daemon, which
takes care of automatically updating DNS entries for service providers
such as DynDNS.com.
Also, is there a better home page?
Otherwise LGTM!

Does it run as root? If there’s no option to run it (mostly) as
non-root, perhaps it would make sense to try using
‘make-forkexec-constructor/container’ here (as a separate patch.)
WDYT?
Thank you,
Ludo’.
