Sysv emulation runs only sysvscripts, then all enabled runit services
are started with runsvdir

It's probably feasible ( but hacky) to run again some initscripts
toghether with other runit services:

Could you please try something like the following

# mkdir /etc/sv/sysv.dep-fixer
# touch /etc/sv/sysv.dep-fixer/run
# chmod +x /etc/sv/sysv.dep-fixer/run

with the following run file
---------------------------------------
# cat /etc/sv/sysv.dep-fixer/run 
#!/bin/sh

sv start dbus  && sv check dbus  || exit 170
sv start elogind  && sv check elogind  || true

for script in '/etc/rc2.d/S'* ; do
        [ ! -x "$script" ] && continue
        path=$(realpath "$script")
        name=${path##*/}
        [ -d "/etc/sv/$name" ] && continue
        if grep -q "$name:.*dbus" /etc/init.d/.depend.start ; then
                echo "$script" start
        fi
done

sv d .

exec sleep 10000
------------------------------------------

then the enable the service and reboot the system; in your test case a
sysv instance of network-manager and bluetooth should be up.

Best,
Lorenzo
