Where is the daemon folder in Debian

I have just installed a daemon with:

apt-get install daemon

and the script I am using requires the directory of daemon's installation. Where is this, or how do I find it?

Find downloaded package in apt cache:

ls -alF /var/cache/apt/archives | grep daemon

If you already cleared apt cache, try to redownload package:

sudo apt-get --download-only install daemon

Then check contents of this package and file paths after installation:

sudo dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/daemon_0.6.4-1_amd64.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-06-14 23:55 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-06-14 23:55 ./etc/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       141 2010-06-14 23:55 ./etc/daemon.conf
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-06-14 23:55 ./usr/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-06-14 23:55 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root    187080 2010-06-14 23:55 ./usr/bin/daemon
...

I think the answer is /usr/bin.

Update:

The above version of daemon package actual for Debian 7.3
