Thanks for the report. I don't have any systems remaining that run
sysvinit that i would be able to use to test libreswan, so i'm
uncomfortable shipping any such automated system integration. I'd be
similarly uncomfortable maintaining a package that proposed libreswan
system integration for other initsystems using runit-init or openrc.
So for now the debian package for libreswan only provides integration
with the systemd initsystem.
If anyone wants to propose specific patches to the debian packaging to
either have the main libreswan package automatically support sysvinit
(or any other initsystem) or produce a libreswan-sysvinit (or
libreswan-runit, etc) binary package, and that the patch author
volunteers to help test and maintain that system integration work over
time, i'd be open to reviewing and incorporating reasonable changes into
the debian packaging.
It's not something i'm likely to work on myself, though.
