Just to get the full picture, did you install runit-init? Other runit
related packages?

As has been pointed out in other feedback, it's runit-services.

That's https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033542. It's
been addressed in runit-service 0.6.0 but that is unfortunately only
available from Debian's experimental at the moment. Here's hoping this
migrates to sid and is included in the next point release for stable.

Even ifupdown starts a DHCP client daemon to get and renew your DHCP
lease when necessary. BTW, ifupdown recommends isc-dhcp-client over
just any old dhcp-client. Looks like you opted for dhcpcd.

FYI, the bookworm release notes mention that isc-dhcp-client is
deprecated and suggest udhcpc as a replacement[1].

I uninstalled it when I ran into the reported bug on my server machine
and stayed without custom scripts. On a recently installed laptop I
kept it and "fixed" it (think I set the interface to eth0, may have
commented it out, don't remember, machine's at the office).

Hope this helps,
