[chef] runit cookbook behaviour

["Dr. Agon Smith" < >]

Ohai, Chefs!

Can anybody answer my question that is: why is the custom init.d script created for runit_service instead of just symlinking to "/usr/bin/sv"? This is about official runit cookbook.

The actual problem is:

I've tested the latest runit cookbook on my debian installation and found out that it just fails in the moment of init.d script creation. I am already aware of COOK-2322, that corresponds to this problem. 

I've forked runit cookbook and just removed that code(left only symlinking). And I can provide it as a pull request. But I do not completely understand why in the first place this was done before and uncertain if my fix is appropriate.

P.S. There is also a pull request #17 that fixes the problem in another way, but it was not mentioned in the ticket. And as far as I understand the person(ademidov) who provided it is not in the list of approved contributors(correct me if I'm wrong).
