   I overlooked this, will have a look again and adjust for the next   
   upload; thanks for following up.

   well this is not straightforward to understand but roughly:   
      
   /usr/share/runit/sv/:  contains the full stash of services shipped by   
   runit-services (included ones that are not relevant for the system   
   because the correspondent binary/package is not installed)   
      
   /usr/share/runit/sv.current/ contains a subset of usr/share/runit/sv/,   
   specifically it contains only the services that can be run on the system   
   because the correspondent binary is installed in the system   
   (the .meta/bin file in each service dir is used for this).   
   (there are also other differences, but not relevant for this bug)   
      
   So I think scanning /usr/share/runit/sv.current/ is enough.
