Indeed, in that script the --chuid is not passed to Sympa; it is passed 
to the Debian program start-stop-daemon.  That installation script is 
for Debian systems only.  More generally, the SocialTools installation 
instructions for Sympa have a number of dependencies, which are 
described on the SocialTools web site 
(http://www.open-organizations.org/view/Socialtools/ServerConfigStandard).
