socklog should not depend on runit at all.
E.g. I start it with daemontools which is in all Stable/Testing/Unstable .
And many others also run it this way, as runit was written as daemontools
replacement in times when it was not opensourced yet.
You should keep the dependencies just as they were in Gerrit Pape's version:
--\ Depends
--- adduser
--- libc6
--\ Recommends
--- ipsvd
--- runit
--- socklog-run
It might recommend runit as the preferred way to run it, but not depend on it.
I'm not sure why you had to break what has been working for many years ?!
Why has Gerrit stepped down and stopped maintaining his own software ?
