Yes, but then when an openrc user wants to start/stop a service, he
cannot do '/etc/init.d/myservice start' like he could do on any other
OS using openrc. He'd have to do '/etc/openrc/myservice start'. Not a
really big deal, but I think it's undesirable to make Devuan's openrc
procedures different (especially when it could be addressed with a
simple symlink).
