+"removepkg daemontools" leaves some stuff behind.
+This is partly because removepkg skips removal of dangling symbolic
+links, and partly because doinst.sh does stuff that removepkg
+can't be aware of.
+
+BEFORE DOING REMOVEPKG: remove this line from /etc/inittab:
+
+SV:123456:respawn:/command/svscanboot
+
+since this will fail repeatedly after the next reboot or telinit.
+Then enter:
+
+telinit q
+
+to stop the svscanboot service.
+
+AFTERWARDS:
+
+rm -r /package # (has symlinks)
+rmdir /service # (or rm -r if you configured services)
+
+cd /usr/bin
+for i in $(ls -lL 2>&1 | grep -E '^l\?\?' | rev | cut -f1 -d' ' |
+ rev); do rm -v $i; done
+
+---------------------------
+
+If you built daemontools without EDIT_INITTAB=yes, you need to insert the SV
+line above into /etc/inittab. Having done that, "telinit q" will start
+the service.
