perhaps doing the same thing as init-system-helpers dh_systemd package
to add support for runit into each respective package. This way each
package has it's own runit scripts included in the package but they are
only deployed and set up if runit-init is installed. This is done using
hooks in dpkg... I'm a bit vague on the details at this stage, but have
a look at the source for init-systemd-helpers for details.
