Hi daemontools maintainer,
Thanks you for you to maintain daemontools package.
And today, I'll wish you to do some modification to your package.

Yes, you mention this at NEWS.Debian, that's good. great.
And users should read that and take action for this, yes, of course.
But, if package moves symlinks from /var/lib/svscan (or /service)
to /etc/service when when users install package, it's wonderful!
excellent! ...don't you think so? :-)
So I suppose you to do it at postinst like attached patch (it's
not tested yet, sorry ;) or use debconf to ask users which directory
do you want to use for daemontools.
Please consider this.
