Devuan is great, but if upstream packages rely unnecessarily on systemd for any reason, then those packages may or may not have a port that is sans systemd. An alternative competing option may be necessary if the "bad" package cannot be used sans systemd as required. What we are looking at here [at a minimum] is to remove dependencies that are actually there due to laziness rather than actually being required; which is quite different. If there is a "real" dependency, then that needs to be coded around to fix it, if it, in fact, can be coded around... which would take more work (possibly much more work). Kind Regards AndrewM
