Subject: runit-run install failed - conflict w/unofficial daemontools-run?

Hi,

I just tried to install runit and runit-run on a Debian sarge setup 
which already has var-qmail, qmail-run, djbdns and daemontools installed 
from http://smarden.org/pape/Debian/

I was using dselect, and this was the output:

  This package diverts sysvinit's /sbin/init binary.  Use

   # /sbin/init.sysv 6

  to reboot the system with runit as process no 1 after installing this
  package.

  Please read the runit documentation before proceeding:

    http://smarden.org/runit/

  Press ENTER to continue, press Ctrl-C to abort...

  Adding `diversion of /sbin/init to /sbin/init.sysv by runit-run'
  Adding `diversion of /usr/share/man/man8/init.8.gz to
    /usr/share/man/man8/init.sysv.8.gz by runit-run'

  Setting up runit (1.0.5-3) ...

  There already is an SV entry in /etc/inittab.  In order to have
  this package add an entry with the name SV to have runit's service
  supervision started by sysvinit, you need to remove or rename the
  current SV entry first.

  Installation failed.
  0;10m
  dpkg: error processing runit (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of runit-run:
   runit-run depends on runit (>> 1.0.5-0); however:
    Package runit is not configured yet.
  dpkg: error processing runit-run (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured


"There already is an SV entry in /etc/inittab" seemed to be the problem, 
so I looked in there and found:

#-- daemontools-run begin
SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot
#-- daemontools-run end


...which I assume is from my previous daemontools-run installation. 
Should I just rename the old SV entry in there?  I'm not familiar with 
editing /etc/inittab entries.  If so, does it matter what I rename it 
to?

I sure hope the unofficial daemontools-run and runit-run are compatible 
with one another!

BTW Here are my apt sources:

===[/etc/apt/sources.list]===
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib 
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main

deb http://smarden.org/pape/Debian/ sarge unofficial

Thanks for any suggestion anyone might have to offer!
