My point was that, indeed, 95%-97% of the packages you are using
actually are bare, untouched, Debian packages :) Still, thanks to
amprolla, if you use Devuan repos you should manage to avoid
systemd-related dependencies.

I really don't see what you mean here by "infected". If you don't have
Debian repos in your sources.list, there is no way any Debian package
can be installed into your system without passing through amprolla. If
you mix-up repos, then you deserve to suffer, and to suffer alone (and
a lot) :D

Sorry but I have never managed to digest aptitude, let alone use it,
so I can't help you. I have actually never been able to understand why
one would use anything like aptitude when you have apt-* and
dselect. But this is obviously the biased view of a poor caveman :)
