Thorsten Glaser, the Debian Developer who authored the GR against systemd,
maintains two repositories named "wtf" and "yplentyn".
Collectively, they are referred to as "MirDebian", after Thorsten's
nickname "mirabilos".
These repositories are designed for running without systemd, pulse, dbus,
and a whole lot of similar stuff.
The "systemd_must_die" package that aroused such a flamewar was in the
MirDebian wtf repository, and has been renamed
"prevent_systemd_completely".


The OP is not mirabilos, nor even of the same nationality; the only
connection is that the first three letters of his name are the same
as the first three lettters of Thorsten's nickname "mirabilos".
(Note that "miro" has "o" as the fourth letter; ISTR that it's short
for Miroslav.)
However, the OP objects to much of the software that Thorsten has worked
on disabling/removing, and thus has been promoting the mirdebian wtf
repository.
The OP has repeatedly stated that systemd, pulse, and dbus are all
backdoors for remote exploits, and provided notes on removing them
with the aid of Thorsten's repositories and hardening a system with
grsec; these notes have been useful to some, despite the OP not being
fluent in English.

As far as I can tell, the current thread is the OP's attempt to ask
Thorsten if he intends to duplicate the repositories for Devuan.

It is my understanding, based on my previous examination of the
repositories, that nothing in there would have to change for Devuan.


Does that clarify anything?
