I'm really not keen to add a dependency to daemontools-run, esp. not to the runit package, just for (un)installing and starting/stopping a service. Why isn't it as simple as installing the unit, and then?: systemd not installed || start service systemd not installed || have service started by default and systemd not installed || stop service systemd not installed || have service not started by default Why do I need a helper for that?
