Hi,

I know this is unblock request is rather late, apologies for that.

The current version of init-system-helpers in buster has a change which
was not acked by its maintainers.
The bug submitter ignored that feedback and NMUed the package anyway.

Not adding runit-init as alternative means, that when installing
runit-init, dpkg/apt will prompt you, if you really want to do that
change. Given the experience I and Martin Pitt had, when evaluating
runit, this is probably not a bad thing.
After all, the init meta package is merely a safety net to prevent users
from shooting themselves in the foot. The init meta-package doesn't
provide any functionality and serves no other purpose otherwise.

I've seen that [1] was just filed, I hope this doesn't block testing
migration

Regards,
Michael
