libsystemd is not an init system. The init system is initd. The various systemd components can be used for multiple tasks regardless of what init system you actually use. But the developers of Devuan have decided that systemd is inherently evil for some reason and that a variant of Debian that doesn't offer systemd (this is the only substantial difference between Debian and Devuan) would somehow be necessary. What he is saying is that purging libsystemd like this makes it impossible to even check whether or not systemd is actually there, which inherently makes no one who develops a program to even optionally use part of systemd care about you. -- Julie Marchant https://onpon4.github.io Protect your emails with GnuPG: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org
