I'm using /var/lib/svscan but I'm open to suggestions on this. The directory
should only be holding symlinks, so it's pretty unimportant where it goes.

Yes, this is how it should be done. That way, people can use familiar
/etc/init.d/package scripts to control the service instead of having to learn
daemontools. (Not that daemontools is especially hard to learn, but most
