Thanks David,

Me too. On all my Debian wheezy install, I excluded anything with
*systemd* and I use udev 175-7.2. I also always remove /lib/systemd and
/etc/systemd after any package installation.

I tried apt-file though, but the merged Devuan repository does not have
the information for that. That was why I asked the question.

E: The cache is empty. You need to run 'apt-file update' first.
