FWIW I run runit 2.1.2-59 and runit-services together with elogind 255.5-2
on two Devuan Ceres systems with KDE's Plasma desktop. One I had patched
manually, but I made sure the package version of the run dir for elogind
was installed after the upgrade. The other one was upgraded regularly from
elogind 252 and older runit / runit-services packages.
Runsvdir starts elogind correctly from the new path. I also reviewed the
changes to the package for the updated path for elogind and I think they
are correct. I am certainly no expert with runit, but as I contributed
zcfan service dir at least I know something.
Devuan uses the upstream packages for runit, runit-services, dash, bash so
I expect that runit-services 0.7.2 will work just fine on Debian, too. It
would unbreak running elogind for runit users that did not patch their
systems manually already. I bet most of them did by now, as many desktop
environments do not work well, if at all, without some systemd-logind
replacement. And the timeouts with login into a TTY or SSH session without
some systemd-logind replacement are quite annoying as well. Sure we are
still talking about a (small) minority of Debian users here.
Hope this helps regarding the review of the package and the sponsoring. In
case any further changes need to be tested before upload, I am willing to
do that.
Best,
