+When I first setup our debian git-daemon I noticed this dependency for git-daemon-run called runit, and runit is evil and full of hate, so I created a way to use existing /etc/init.d/ system to run the daemon, just change the settings to match your system and put the files in place.  
+
+First remove git-daemon-run if you have it installed
+apt-get remove git-daemon-run
+Then create the files below, then do this:
+chmod +x /etc/init.d/git-daemon
+/etc/init.d/git-daemon start 
+and your good to go.  Contents of files follow.
+ 
+/etc/init.d/git-daemon
