Yes. I know :(
I will try to build a very basic one and put that into Devuan gitlab.
Hopefully more experience Debian packagers could give me feedbacks.

Yes. We could do that. But that would not involve cleaning up the files
as the dpkg does when we switch back and forth from epoch to sysvinit or
vise versa.

I am not sure if you are aware. I am trying to maintain the Debian build
script for eudev on https://git.devuan.org/anto/eudev-deb and
https://github.com/anto/eudev-deb. Unfortunately, I only got feedbacks
from Jaret so far :(
