On a related note, I think the best way of acquiring runit run files is
to install Void Linux on a VM, install all the various daemons, and
then view the run files in /etc/sv/$daemonname/run.

Void has had enough time supporting runit that most of their run files
work great. The exceptions usually assume device names that shouldn't
be assumed.

Devuan could thus acquire a whole bunch of run scripts and not have to
beg the upstreams to do it.
