I really like djbdns, but its installation is long and error prone, and djb uses directories like /service that no distro will ever use. Every distro I ever saw providing djbdns (superset of dnscache) did it in a way that required gargantuan troubleshooting. If Devuan did it, it would need to be done in a reasonable way with good documentation. On a selfish note, because every computer I use either has runit or has already installed Daemontools or Daemontools-encore, it would be nice if the daemontools part of djbdns install was made optional.
