Hi Everyone,

This is settled law. Devuan does not in any way support installation of
systemd on Devuan:

All Devuan promises is not to deliberately insert Halloween Code to
bomb when systemd is installed.

It's perfectly obvious that if one wanted Devuan with systemd, they'd
use Debian, but occasionally a troll tries to bludgeon us with our
origins as a distro supporting the choice of its users NOT to use
systemd. And then everyone (I'm guilty too during this thread) chimes
in. But this is settled law.
