Thanks; I now have a package of runit that I can
install/uninstall/reinstall consistently without leaving anything
behind. It uses a combination of sv -v  (to avoid the problem) on
package remove, and a kill pipeline (not yet tested on *nix other than
GNU/Linux) on install. Sort of ugly, but it works.

If anyone else uses encap, the package is up at:

It works for running runit's runsvdir under inittab or upstart control.
