Devuan is _not_ Debian. They forked it, with the full knowledge that they might have to do all the work to support their choices. They had the chance to not do that, contribute the proper changes back to support their use case. They we might have had a proper maintained sysvinit. But instead they flip tables by even seeing systemd units or libsystemd, which by definition does nothing in this context. If someone comes up with a usable systemd service to init script converter, I don't think Debian would opt against using it to provide a service for our users. What would they do? > A minority? Yes. But a sizable one. In Debian it's a 1.5% minority. It does not yet reach the point at which for example the whole web oekosystem forcefully cuts support. But support is questionable.
