I agree with James and T.J. here. Devuan 1.0 should be debian 8 sans
systemd. As for which init system to use, I vote for sysvinit with
sysvinit scripting. This is what folks coming to devuan from debian
wheezy will be familiar with, and I know that's what I would expect to
find when installing/upgrading to devuan from wheezy. Those who want
other init systems should know how to install them without having them
forced on those of us who prefer what we're used to.

Agreed. I would substitute the word init above with words like editor,
MTA, ETC.

Makes sense.
