I solved this issue by diverting the original package's startup script
and replacing it with a symlink to /usr/bin/sv in the postinst's
scripts. As an example here is the postinst script of my nginx-run package:
http://parad0x.org/git/debian-run/nginx-run/tree/debian/postinst

I also patched insserv to recognise and ignore symlinks to /usr/bin/sv
to make this work nicely. The patch is here:
http://parad0x.org/git/debian-run/insserv/

Native support for alternative init systems would hopefully obsolete the
need for these kind of tweaks, but in the meantime they make for a very
smooth integration of runnit with debian.

I haven't tried s6 yet, but it's on my bucket list.
