Sorry David, I have to disagree with that. (What happened to me today, I
have a lot of disagreements with people including at work).

In my view, the decision to use systemd as the default init of Debian
forces the locked-in of massive number of packages into systemd. That is
the main problem which leads to the birth of Devuan. They then provide
workarounds for people who want to use other init systems, e.g. shim,
etc., to be able to use the whole systemd base distro.
