Wouldn't it be sufficient to just add "runit" as an alternative to
"daemontools" in the dependency list?

What you suggest enables using the daemontools names for calling the 
runit programs (in order to "provide" a daemontools interface). [Am I 
correct?]

I just want to use runit's names for calling runit's programs. [Unless
the djbdns software somehow relies on the actual supervision software
used (?).]

What do you mean by "manually insert daemontools as installed"?
Could you please be more explicit?


Thanks for your help.
