Hi again,

This bug report is stuck since a long time and also the discussion on
salsa MR ended without reply nor upload on your side.
Now it's likely that I have to support also a catch-all package for
runit services in addition to the standard dh-runit code, but the idea
of runit relying on update-rc.d/invoke-rc.d code that would work for
that case has already been discarded..

Overall I think that the best way to go forward is that I divert
helpers with runit-init (as openrc and file-rc did in the past) so that
I can experiment and find a working solution for runit users without
generating bug on this package. 
We can always merge runit support later if we find a solution that
works for both sides.

Let me know if you disagree, but in that case please make sure you have
the time to join the discussion untill we find a solution.

Regards,
Lorenzo
