There's no sysvinit script included in the Debian package, but also no hard dependency on systemd so far as I can tell.

doesn't address OP OT but might enlighten those unfamiliar with NUMA:

I say it wrong, numad itself works if you manually run binary under sudo, but autorun does not work.

Due to such a problem when working on servers, it is very difficult to abandon debian in order to switch to devuan.
Help if there is anyone who can adapt for SysVinit and OpenRC and add an fix to the official Devuan repos.

Numad application is not adapted for initialization systems other than systemd. Therefore, such a utility for HPC and data centers does not start as a daemon.
This utility works in all distributions, and it is enabled by default in Red Hat products.
