I've implemented the runit package, somewhat similar to minit, modeled
on the daemontools' service management concept, and available in Debian
sarge and sid:

 http://packages.debian.org/runit
 http://packages.debian.org/runit-run

But it's not a drop-in replacement for sysvinit as it's not compatible
with normal init scripts.  You may be interested though.

Regards, Gerrit.
