Assuming Gerrit Pape doesn't hate the way Dmitry did it, that might be
a good idea. Is there a way I could install Dmitry's package or
packages directly on Devuan?

Also, while I have your attention, all you guys talk about two
different packages: runit and runit-init. I assume runit is the
supervisor and runit-init is PID1 plus the RC files, but of course I
could be wrong. Any education would be great.

One more thing. I *VERY* strongly believe that installing one init
system should not deinstall another init system. Seeing as we'll
eventually have working packages for runit, s6, daemontools-encore,
busybox init and who knows what else, there must be some early design
to prevent them from filename clashing. For instance,
using /var/service for all of them is a bad idea. /etc/sv is another
possible clash if it's used for daemontools-encore and/or s6.

Anyway, if I do this thing, I'm going to do it in a way enabling
alternate inits to exist on the computer in much the same way and for
much the same reason as we're allowed and encouraged to keep multiple
kernels.
