In another thread someone mentioned trusting people. I trust the maintainer of angband.pl generally more than maintainers of Devuan, from observed behavior.
*sigh* i love what the devuan team have done: they've achieved a hell of a lot. the only thing is: their stated mission statement is "to give people free choice over their init service". and... err... the lack of support for systemd makes that mission statement a false statement.
devuan is therefore a backlash *against* systemd. if they were true to their mission statement they would add the option to include it.
what would be really *really* handy is if someone modified angband.pl's packaging so that it compiled *both* systemd *and* systemd-less packages, making the systemd-less variants e.g. of udev as "udev-nosystemd" and using "Provides: udev" (or whatever appropriate debian control magic is necessary).
the reason for that would be that the angband.pl variants could then actually be proposed for inclusion in debian.
