@FOSSuser: Instead of packaging stuff Devuan packagers prefer to fight over the next iteration of their build infrastructure. Nobody has any idea where things should be headed, the current infrastructure is unmaintained (e.g. the Devuan gitlag is unsupported upstream by now!) and new people are being demotivated at every turn. Just ask golinux about how her commendable effort to increase communication in the project was shot down. No developers are around that can actually make sense out of C code.

I am not at all optimistic about devuan anymore.

@steelpillow: Most of the Debian packages are compatible with both systemd init and other inits: That is exactly what libsystemd is there for. That library is nothing but a set of functions that check whether systemd is available and use that if it is or do nothing if not. Devuan is all about removing that library, breaking systemd support but not gaining any new functionality or benefit besides getting rid of a small library.
