Subject: Re: [DNG] How to integrate devuan-installer in an existing devuan based system
Hello,

the first "devuanized" live-build is going to be jessie-only,
4.0.3-somethingdevuansomething
and I still have to see how easily it can be merged a year forward
(hopefully that's easy to do)

It's just that live-build is quite debian-specific and needed to be
changed otherwise it just
would force installation of systemd on any live DVD you make with it.
Not hardcoded, I hasten to say,
but as a consequence of debootstrap's dependencies handling.
