[SOLVED] sources.list or devuan.sources

The sources.list has been removed from Debian. Instead, there is now
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources
How does this work in Devuan?
Is /etc/apt/sources.list still used?

man sources.list

sources.list will still be used if you don't "modernize" the sources when apt asks you. It will also be used if you change your mind and move the modernized files out of the way and replace your sources.list file.

Thank you very much. I still have Trixie on one computer. I set up sources.list, deleted debian.sources, and migrated to Excalibur according to the instructions. Everything seems to be OK.

Re: [SOLVED] sources.list or devuan.sources

One more question: How can I ensure that systemd is no longer present?
Here is an output:

dpkg -l | grep systemd
ii  systemd-standalone-sysusers                         257.9-1~deb13u1                      amd64        standalone sysusers binary for use in non-systemd systems

Is this OK?

You can remove it without any problems at least I have not seen any without it.

zeus@9600k:~$ dpkg -l | grep systemd
rc  dbus-user-session                                   1.14.10-1~deb12u1                    amd64        simple interprocess messaging system (systemd --user integration)
