[distcc] distcc at debian: --listen option in config files

[Perki Pat]

hi! I was installing distcc and I've found that there is
a --listen option that Debian Sarge doesn't support in
configuration file (/etc/default/distcc) nor in init.d
script (/etc/init.d/distcc).

I have wroten a workaround for this, if anybody wants
to include it.

Bye
