I'm unfamiliar with upstart and systemd, but "good" daemon packages
provide an option that enables them to choose between the two operating
modes.

That's imho a matter of time and convention.

I run only some of my services under 'runit', and the remainder using
conventional 'init.d' type start scripts. But I would prefer to run more
services from runit, and with less effort.
