Well, in current state, runit is not init system and using it is
rather complicated -- sysadmin have to manually copy files from
/usr/share/doc/ into /etc. It writes files under /etc, which may be
read-only. Using it under sysv control means that getty is not runit
service. It provides only tty5 runscript.
My changes addresses all of above to provide something, that would
work out-of-box. Would you be interested in taking them?
