The apulse program just helped me get Skype up and running, so I can
now communicate with my kids the same way I did 3 years ago, before
Microsoft bought and sabotaged Skype.

There's no reason apulse should be part of a default install, but it
should be in some Devuan repo (perhaps nonfree or whatever), so that
somebody who really needs it can install it.
