I think there is only one distribution which wants builds without libsystemd: the one that formed around MikeeUSA's call to action. What does Debian gain from supporting a distribution whose developers are unfriendly to Debian developers (accusing Debian to "vandalize" open source by supporting systemd) and other people (calling a systemd developer a cancer)? Let me quote Devuan's IRC's infobot fact: | 'sth is poettering' means it acts invasive, possessive, destructive, | and generally in an egocentric exacerbating negative way. ``this | cancer is extremely poettering'', [...] I don't think we should waste time to accomodate the needs of such people.
