I think that the most reasonable way is to invoke `run once <service>`
within the runit run script of another service that depends on it. For
example, a service that needs to load the kernel parameters would invoke
`sv once procps`

No, they don't. The *.service files of systemd do define the type as follows:

[Service]
Type=oneshot

They make a subtle distinction between simple and oneshot though.
