Hi Anto,
I think the plan is to make the installation of all systemd components
optional. The packages in git.devuan.org <http://git.devuan.org>that
are cloned from Debian's sources have build flags set automatically to
compile out systemd dependencies, for example.
If you're wondering what's pulling in libsystemd0 in your above
example, you could run "aptitude why libsystemd0" to find out what's
pulling it in. If it's a package in Devuan pulling it in, please let
us know!

Hello Jude,
I don't think "aptitude why libsystemd0" provide reliable information
about the package dependency. It shows indeed which package depends on
other package, but it checks the list on the repository instead of the
ones that are going to be installed and upgraded. As you can see below,
"knot-libs" depends on libsystemd0 but it is not on the list of the
packages that are going to be installed or upgraded.

I usually check the package dependency using "apt-cache depends".
Amongst the packages that are going be installed and upgraded, only the
following 3 packages directly depend on libsystemd0:
- dbus
- libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (required by consolekit)
- php5-fpm
I am quite sure that those packages were pulled from Devuan repository
as it is the only repository on my source.list.
If I may ask to request, I would prefer "init-system-helpers" to be
excluded from the dependency of all packages because it is clearly the
helper for systemd init only. So it should not be in Devuan if Devuan
would not provide systemd init (which I really hope would be the case).
The following packages from the above list directly depend on
init-system-helpers:
- anacron
- at
- cron
- openssh-server
- php5-fpm
- rsyslog
Kind regards,
Anto
