[I'm not the OpenRC maintainer, I'm only on gentoo-devel because I'm
 generally interested, and I saw this, I'm not speaking for zigo or
 anything here.]

Hi, Gentoo (and hello world),

I'm breaking my streak of lurking to comment generally on the Debian
procedure here.

I'm sure the Debian folks would be happy to strip the symlink from the
deb over having to patch OpenRC's rc binary => openrc against the
upstream source.

Shipping /usr/bin/rc => /usr/bin/openrc would be totally cool for
Debian, I believe. Hopefully the OpenRC team will come in and correct me
if I'm wrong :)

Fondly,
  Paul
