That's a good idea. I protected /etc/runit/runsvdir/default, so the next time something tries to remove symlinks from there, it will fail and hopefully tell me about it. Leaving like this would be pretty inconvenient, but it should provide enough info for a bug report.

Hello,
I'm running Devuan Excalibur with runit as the init, and apt keeps deleting /etc/service/elogind (normally a symlink to /etc/sv/elogind). This results in runit killing elogind, which terminates the desktop session. There is a non-functional /etc/init.d/elogind which I have replaced with a symlink to /bin/sv. This also keeps getting reverted. The weirdest thing is this can happen when installing seemingly unrelated packages,

Ideally, I would like to protect these directories like other config files on the system, so that I can at least have a chance to compare the package's version with my version.
