I poked around in the Contents files with `apt-file` on my Daedalus
machine to get an idea of the *full* list of init.d scripts, whether
installed or not. There are a whopping 1184 of them, 16 of which are
provided by more than one binary package. The init.d files are spread
out over 1076 binary packages, so some packages contain more than one.

FTR, I used

apt-file search etc/init.d/ | cut -d\ -f2 | sort | uniq -c | wc -l
apt-file search etc/init.d/ | cut -d\ -f2 | sort | uniq -d | wc -l
apt-file search etc/init.d/ | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | wc -l

to get the respective numbers with these APT sources configured

  $ sed 's/[ \t]*#.*//; /^$/d' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}
  deb [target+=Contents-deb] http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus          main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  deb [target+=Contents-deb] http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
  deb [target+=Contents-deb] http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates  main contrib non-free non-free-firmware


Given the large number of files and packages involved, I guess combining
the list of packages with popcon data[1] is a good way to get an idea of
which packages would benefit most of being added to runit-services. I'm
not sure whether using popcon's `inst` or `vote` data is best suited for
this ranking task.

BTW, instead of having been removed, init.d scripts may have been moved
to a package's /usr/share/doc/ as well. Case is point is nftables.

Hope this helps,
