I would have thought so too, but apparently they don't. At least not all of
them. See this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774871

My guess is that it was coded to identify events triggered by gvfs or some
such.

Last time I tried, which was a while ago on Debian Jessie, installing gvfs
resulted in systemd-sysv getting installed. It was probably the first thing
that made me realize that Debian didn't really mean it when they said they
would support multiple inits.

If gvfs on Devuan only requires libsystemd0, then that is an improvement.

Thanks, I guess I should do some testing.
