How bout this: Have a "runit-supervisor-only" pacakge that installs
runit but doesn't make it PID1. Have sysvinit run runit, and have runit
run redis, with all the correct config. The runit run script is
probably 1/10 the size of its bloatacious and apparently broken sysvinit
init script, so it's easy to correctly design the runit run script.

This could also be done with daemontools-encore, if there's a good
package for it (Debian's package for just plain daemontools really
sucked, last time I looked).
