Not unless the symlinks came with it. runit programs will behave differently when called using daemontools names. One could easily however have a "legacy-free" runit and a separate package that provided "daemontools" and the symlinks. > What you suggest enables using the daemontools names for calling the > runit programs (in order to "provide" a daemontools interface).

Basically shut debian up by lying to it and telling it that daemontools is installed. There's probably a mechanism for doing it properly, but I just use vi to tell it that daemontools is installed and has no files.
