Thank you for your report.

So the name of pid 1 for runit-init is runit?
Then the test could be
-q "init\|runit\|systemd"

What about other init systems, like openrc-init? Perhaps the test should be
reversed if ps -p1 | -q "container tests here" instead.

The Debian package has a worse bug, the test is
if [ ! -w /sys ]; then which is always true, making it impossible to start udev
manually.

I've been looking for methods to detect containers, but have not found virt-
what. Do you have a link or a description?
