It's generaly a good behaviour to have options on command line which
override config file one.
Here we can force foreground mode, but not daemon. It's not balanced.

You ship example file with foreground by default. I currently sed it
during packaging.
You can see here [1] how we build your software.

Archlinux handle both sysvinit[2] and systemd[3] initscripts.

It  prevent sslh with a bad config to be runned foreground and block
system boot.
Another side effect, overiding minimize config file edition for
foreground testing mode.

Maybe you want ship systemd service file upstream?
