Here is the trick: one can't simply install runit as pid1 as long as
it is not Pre-depends of `init`

`trayer'. For some reason, it showed nothing to me, so I installed
it's ancestor `fbpanel', which provides 'shutdown' and 'reboot'
buttons, which invokes corresponding scripts. Seems that 'reboot' and
'shutdown' which are /sbin/init 6 and /sbin/init 0, and ignore command
line will suffice.
