I know about this problem, but have no idea how to solve it
correctly. Here we have transition from /service as directory to
/service as symbolic link.

Simple way would be just remove /service and replace it with symlink.
But sysadmin, who put his stuff into /etc/service would hate me.

I could move /etc/service content into /etc/runit/runsvdir/current, but
it also could break things, in more subtle ways.

Maybe I should move /etc/service into /etc/service.dpkg-old and print
huge box about it? WDYT?
