Dear i-s-h maintainers,

I intend to ask for the inclusion of runit-init into the pre-dep list
of this package right after the bookworm release. 
For now I'm following the list of suggestions provided by Simon McVittie [1]
in #923450 msg#15; please document your requirements.

Regards,
Lorenzo

I suggest that proponents of alternative init systems should be able to show that it is something of at least minimal interest for the Debian community and not just somebody's pet project. A possible criteria could be something like being adopted by 1% (5%?) of popcon users.

As Simon already explained, it is totally possible for an init system to be usable without being a dependency of init, and indeed systemd did exactly that in the first years.

The "init" meta package was designed as a means to facilitate the switch from sysvinit to systemd as default init system in Debian.
What you are asking is not in scope of the init package.
Thus closing as wontfix.
