I think this is necessary. If it were the case that the package maintainer of some of these services
-say dbus, just to give an example- decides to include his/her own runit scripts in the packaging, then
they would be installed at /etc/sv/dbus. Therefore, the ones provided by runit-services must be put into
another directory. Otherwise, there would be conflicts between both packages: dbus and runit-services.
