Thanks.  I agreed with that idea because it makes it obvious how to
divide maintenance tasks between different people.

In practice it hasn't been working as well as planned.  I have been
the only one responding to user reports through the BTS about the
git-daemon service implementations, so I wrote the patch to be able to
have them all installed at once, to make that easier.

Avoiding too many small packages and following the same pattern as
other daemons packaged in Debian are only a small added bonus.

To comply with policy ยง2.5, a simpler patch (see below) should work.
It has the side-benefit of documenting that I don't have time to
maintain the sysvinit script at the same standard as the runit
service.  I could live with it. ;-)
