Hi Tobias, hi Lorenzo.

Tobias, thanks for looking into this sponsoring request! I appreciate it.

FWIW I run runit 2.1.2-59 and runit-services together with elogind 255.5-2 
on two Devuan Ceres systems with KDE's Plasma desktop. One I had patched 
manually, but I made sure the package version of the run dir for elogind 
was installed after the upgrade. The other one was upgraded regularly from 
elogind 252 and older runit / runit-services packages.

Runsvdir starts elogind correctly from the new path. I also reviewed the 
changes to the package for the updated path for elogind and I think they 
are correct. I am certainly no expert with runit, but as I contributed 
zcfan service dir at least I know something.

Devuan uses the upstream packages for runit, runit-services, dash, bash so 
I expect that runit-services 0.7.2 will work just fine on Debian, too. It 
would unbreak running elogind for runit users that did not patch their 
systems manually already. I bet most of them did by now, as many desktop 
environments do not work well, if at all, without some systemd-logind 
replacement. And the timeouts with login into a TTY or SSH session without 
some systemd-logind replacement are quite annoying as well. Sure we are 
still talking about a (small) minority of Debian users here.

Hope this helps regarding the review of the package and the sponsoring. In 
case any further changes need to be tested before upload, I am willing to 
do that.

Best,
