Outch! This bites hard. Maybe you being the maintainer of the "rc"
package is why you saw this immediately! :)
Though that's annoying, because upstream must extensively uses "rc". All
OpenRC commands are in fact using /sbin/rc. For example, /bin/rc-status
(which shows what is a symlink to /bin/rc, and then /sbin/rc finds out
that it has been called by using /bin/rc-status, so it prints the status.
I'm not sure how hard it will be to fix, though I don't expect it's
going to be just-a-simple-rename... :(

Probably OpenRC doesn't work if that isn't done, because it is loaded
very early in the boot process (I'm really not so sure about this one,
it would need more investigation, and I always delayed that one...).
