I think your getting off-topic here and hijacking the thread. Start a "different" one. I am expecting to see customization of systemd here not some wheezy crap! I am being sarcastic, don't take it personally! I recently installed a wheezy on my pc and for a little while I thought the NOS-valve has hit in my gas-powered old pc. WOW!! Of course that was just a test-bed to see how devuan would transform a pre-systemd system. Flawlessly I might say.
