I've seen buildout recipes that build supervisor into the buildout, I suppose to control the daemons inside. However, it seems to me that one would still need something in /etc/init.d ( for example ) to run said supervisor instance on boot.

So, why build supervisor inside the buildout? Why not install it system wide and just make a config file for the daemons involved inside?
