I'm not a package manager whisperer so I can't answer your question.
But what would happen if you simply backed up the laptop's data and
installed a clean Devuan on it? I'd imagine Devuan would be much more
capable of remaining systemd-free than would any Debian, especially Sid.

If your reason for Sid is you need new apps, you might consider a
rolling release like Funtoo, Gentoo, Void, Spark (sans-systemd Arch),
Manjaro-OpenRC and the like. I'm running Void right now, and check out
my apps:
