Are you volunteering to collate and maintain a list of SystemD dependant application packages ? If so, I am sure some Users would be grateful and Devuan could add it alongside the release notes. Devuan is not a distribution for 'newbie's, there is a benefit from not stripping them out. Anyone who is really passionate about a particular broken package will either attempt a fix and submit a patch upstream or pay someone else to do so.
