Package: daemontools-run
Version: 1:0.76-3
Severity: important

It appears a recent change in the package means that on installation, the 
following happens:
Found directory /var/service, copying content to /etc/service/...
Moving /var/service to /var/service{old} and creating compatibility symlink...
Adding SV inittab entry...
This breaks any packages which assumed that /var/service would be the 
authoritative
place for service entries, and /etc/service/ would be a symlink directory, 
meaning
when uninstalling packages which have created service entries, they now fail 
trying
to remove the /etc/service/ symlink entries.
