That's exactly the reason for my initial reply...

Anyway, your patch probably needs an approval from a maintainer.

And a better name and docstring for daemon-detach-parent would be
needed.
Also daemon-detach-parent should throw an error if called in the non-daemon
case, and when called more than once.
More comments explaining what's going on would also be nic.
Maybe use select instead of read+sleep?
Or signals?
Should also do something in case the child dies before it calls
daemon-detach-parent.
