Yes. Perhaps that is what you and some people want. But that is not what
I want from the beginning as I want to have a distro that supports some
init systems but they should be independent to each other. I think that
is only achievable if sysvinit is being treated the same as other inits,
not that other inits depend on sysvinit. In the case of epoch, *I think*
it can not even use init script provided by daemons package for sysvinit
as epoch needs to have direct control over the daemons. I could not get
confirmation from epoch maintainer about this though. But who am I to
demand that to be implemented in Devuan?
