Yes: the version in experimental is definitely RC buggy, for reasons
unrelated to usrmerge

Thanks, really appreciated:
I prepared a runit_2.1.2-54+usrmerge runit upload targeted at unstable
with two commits backported, you can find it on mentors

https://mentors.debian.net/package/runit/
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/runit/runit_2.1.2-54+usrmerge.dsc

and on salsa (usrmerge branch)
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/runit/-/tree/usrmerge?ref_type=heads

let me know if something else is needed for this upload.

Now the annoying part:

I disagree about the severity (it should be assessed by looking at
the broken feature that is provided by the trigger) and especially I
disagree that the malfunction of this specific feature should cause the
removal of runit from testing (and the same goes for any other
alternative init system).
I'm stopping here as I think you don't want to spend further time on
this bug since it can be fixed with an upload, but I can elaborate if
you want me to.

Best Regards,
Lorenzo
