I'm not quite sure what you're looking for - I've never tried Debian Buster, but Devuan Beowulf works fine for me, and I happened yesterday to have to install a sysvinit startup file (for zoneminder, which no longer comes with one by default), which got installed using update-rc.d without any problem. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Linux_Standard_Base_specification > devuan (beowulf standard installation with some cruft maybe) as I have it > on my notebooks does not conform to the LSB.
