no. Devuan Jessie has the mission to maintain *status quo*

we are contemplating an upgrade, perhaps to OpenRC, for ascii (testing)

we have studied your package for Debian and decided to rewrite it. so
please if you keep this tone of debate consider we do not need any
further interaction.

contact with maintainers in Gentoo who so far seem to be much more
reasonable that Debian (sic!) so please do a favor to your
