I am sorry to burst the soap bubble, I want Devuan to persist and
that requires a realistic analysis.

Why apologize, and then do it anyway?

Cleaning up systemd dependencies
to Debian packaging is child's play compared to creating and
maintaining a large self-built distro in the long run.

A quick look indicates you've been on this list since December 2016.
The Vua made this statement well prior to December 2016.

Your arguments favoring perpetual tracking of Debian were all
excellent. There's exactly one argument favoring an independent Devuan:
What happens if Debian stops supporting sysvinit, or worse, installs
Halloween Code to greatly complicate systemd replacement?

Hi
maybe we repackge sysvinit as systemd with a higher version number ?
So no cleanup needed.....

Ciao,
Tito
