The new syntax works fine on my Jessie systems, no need for double
entries.

Yes, it is. I was a bit surprised myself when I checked my Jessie
laptop again some days ago, but it is does definitely not run any
systemd components - with only the Devuan mirror and Debian security in
the sources.list and no "orphaned" packages from other repos installed:

Please tell me what I miss here... It is running sysv-init with XDM
and DWM / JWM and all the "major components" like dbus, udev and even
cups.

BTW, I just noticed that the "%O" switch for "aptitude -F" does not
work, neither on my Devuan systems nor on Debian Jessie. It would be
nice if someone would confirm this, before I file a bug report.
While e.g.
$ aptitude -F "%p%s" search '?installed'
works as expected,
$ aptitude -F "%p%O" search '?installed'
doesn't even start to initialize and returns immediately, without output.

Ahoi,
