This currently is documented in /usr/share/doc/runit/README.Debian, but
I can add it to the package description also.

See /usr/share/doc/runit-run/README.Debian, it does all but the
service migration, and the final reboot.

Debian services that are integrated into sysvinit are disabled by
default, and need to be converted manually if they should run by
default; the runit-run package enables a getty service, and additionally
takes care that the packages' init scripts aren't run automatically on
package installation/upgrade/remove through the policy-rc.d interface.
To ease service migration on Debian, I'm in the progress of creating a
runit-services package that includes service directories for some
services, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330029
Help's always welcome ;-).
Regards, Gerrit.
