Yes, I looked into runit once and I do appreciate the work of
the developers very much. But because it looked like work ;-)
to migrate everything, (I can't really comment on that much since
I got to one crash after which I restored sysvinit) I decided
to wait for a debian package which not only installs runit
or initng but migrates the services as well.
And I am very pleased to see that there is a need for such a
package so it is quite likely we are going to see something
like this sometime soon. ;-)
