Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: wishlist
/etc/inittab is a historical relic. Useful and standardized,
but in some ways it is not a good fit to the rest of Debian.
My reading of Debian policy 10.7.1 suggests it qualifies as
a "configuration file", although not a conffile.
At the moment, runit home-brews a way to insert a line
of its own into /etc/inittab, classed as a policy violation
(bug #510033).
Please provide a hook for other Debian packages to insert lines
to inittab during install, and revert the change during removal.
This request is related to bug #240068, save for the distinction
between a conffile and a configuration file.
I won't be offended if a maintainer tags this "wontfix", but
then this bug will act as documentation as to why runit "fiddles
with other packages configuration files".

Yes, I believe we will close this bug for now. `runit-sysv' provides
quite satisfactory solution, imho.
