I didn't check, but can't see my daemontools run scripts being migrated.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you want to say here. I don't ask for better integration of daemontools, but > If daemontools is installed, the installation stops with an error, so > that the user can fix it up, and disable daemontools before > installing runit again. rather for a method that allows runit co-exist with daemontools. In my opinion, the user will then need/be able to migrate one service at a time, manually, instead of having to throw away one and go with the other with a big bang. What I wanted to say is: Because users of daemontools are already required to be a bit more comuter-savvy than perhaps the average user (to get it going in the first place), they probably have no trouble doing the required changes manually after runit was properly installed. FWIW, when I manually install runit (w/o the package) where I already have daemontools, I install runit in parallel and then make a soft migration until I can disable daemontools. I thought this was the natural way to do things, and suggested a resolution to this bug along these lines.
