Package: git-daemon-run
Version: 1:1.4.4.4-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I completely fail to see why git-daemon-run depends on runit which
is a replacement of sysvinit. Please remove that package from the
Depends field. This bug appears in both Etch and Sid.

I set the severity to important, because this bug leaves the package
in an unconfigured state inside a vserver context. Precisely, the
postinst maintainer script of runit fails to send a SIGHUP to init,
because sysvinit is not used inside a vserver context, so there is
no need to reread /etc/inittab.

We might believe that it is a runit bug, but runit is fully
useless inside a vserver context, so nobody would install such a
software. Unfortunately, git-daemon-run installs it by the dependency
mechanism.

Cheers,
