$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01norecommend
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";

Not "getting rid of systemd" but "freedom of choice". If someone wants
to install Devuan with systemd, it's his or her choice. Although I
think that noone on this list will do that ;-)

But a few other things:

1) Wishlist: a real PXE installer like Debian is providing. Just an
intrd.gz and a vmlinuz that will guide you through the install process.
No need for USB sticks or CD drives. Running a PXE installer together
with an apt-cacher-ng saves time (internal network speed) and saves
bandwidth usage for the Devuan community.

2) Wouldn't it be better to use the same dir structure like the
Debian mirrors?:

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/devuan/

compared to:

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/debian/
