The package description says:
This package does not replace the /sbin/init binary. To do so you need
to follow the documentation or install the runit-run package.
and I can install it without any change to the general functionality of
the system other than having runsvdir-start started from init, which is
harmless when your system-wide runit directory is empty. You can then use
runsvdir to start the programs in any random directory you want, as any
user you want, and use the regular sv command to start and stop them.
