not at all. We even plan to roll out our own openrc package, ditching
the one from Debian which has many problems. Perhaps what you are
hitting is one of them.


For Devuan's Openrc we will follow the design proposed by upstream and
Gentoo's, the maintainer volunteering for this is Parazyd (also on
this list) who works with us at Dyne.org. We will also use Openrc in
our projects and are advocating for it as the next new standard in
Devuan ascii, at the condition of a 100% smooth transition from
sysvinit.

At last, we haven't done anything on the OpenRC package yet so your
problems are entirely caused by the Debian maintainership, which can't
be trusted at all, IMHO






(the above space is left intentionally blank for conspiracy theorists)

Openrc in Debian coul be labeled as a "self hating package",
I recommend you compile from source until we provide an openrc
package.
