You need three packages... to make this work I cannot send them all at
once though... but they are and i quote
"util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb
sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9_amd64.deb libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_amd64.deb"

You need those three packages and then installing openrc will be a
simple task. :)
