You might also want to use runit instead of daemontools. I've had problems using apt-get to install daemontools, and have found that runit is a worthy replacement.
root$ apt-get install runit
root$ mkdir -p /service
root$ cd /service
root$ ln -s /var/lib/aolserver/service1/etc/daemontools/ service1
root$ runsvctrl up /service/service1
