Hmm, I don't think start-stop-daemon will. Because runit forks services
foreground while start-stop-daemon start backgrounded ones.

What kind of hardwired paths? /var/run/runit/xxx ?

a debian ITP bug here

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=684396 waiting for
rleigh to review my package.

Today's plan,

1. EPREFIX export from runscript.sh
2. test the EPREFIX and update http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC/Prefix
   run runit supervised services on my NAS
3. write a similar helper as lsb.pl for OpenRC to let it understand
   systemd unit.
