This is AIUI perfectly fine, as libsystemd0 is (for the 
time being) a kind of stub library that is used in cases 
where systemd is not installed. IIRC, the consensus on 
this list, after some debate, was that it does no harm 
in and of itself, and allowing it in actually takes the 
burden of the Devuan developers/maintainers to fork every 
single Debian package that has even the ever so slightest 
dependency on systemd.

Nonetheless, IMVHO, it should be closely monitored for the 
foreseeable future for any indications of non-trivial code 
sneaking in there.

TL;DR: On a full-blown Devuan desktop system you probably 
cannot easily avoid it, but its (mostly ;o) harmless.

Best regards,
Urban
