Hello Harsha
s6-rc & s6-linux-init (among others) have been debianised & available in antiX-26.
https://antixlinux.com/antix-26-released/
Maybe consider taking a look at the antiX-26 implementation (sources available using apt sourrce on an antiX-26 installation or the official live cd)
Alternatively you can try playing with git-buildpackage from sources.

It would be great to see something similar in debian & devuan as well.

Thank you 🙂

Gladly! You can ask your questions here, but if you can join the #s6
IRC channel on oftc.net, it will be easier for quick exchanges.
Note that I am working on improving s6-frontend, which is supposed to
make the whole process more user-friendly, so the exact steps needed
to get s6 ready on a distribution are very much in flux right now. But
it's never too early to get involved 🙂
