So, "runit" cannot "provide" a "daemontools" interface.

But, can the "djbdns" programs be transparently supervised by "runit"?

If so, would it be acceptable to ask the maintainer of the "djbdns-installer"
deb package that "runit" be added as an alternative to "daemontools" in the 
dependency list?


Best,
