There seem to be no systemd dep. in base-files:

$ git remote -v
origin https://git.devuan.org/packages-base/base-files.git (fetch)
origin https://git.devuan.org/packages-base/base-files.git (push)
$ git rev-parse HEAD
fdeafaffaf3a8e3c3ea926401266df63a771ea15
$ find . -type f | xargs grep systemd
$

Maybe it is just about name change debian -> devuan...

Tell me, if you need help.
