As written by later mails on this thread, the email limit should stay
as it is. Larger files should be uploaded and hosted somewhere to
download.

This one is not OK, see below. This is the Debian (unpatched version)

No, the sysvinit packages you need are 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2 and you get
them by adding to sources.list: (+ apt-get update)
sysvinit-core
sysvinit-utils
initscripts
bootlogd (optional)

You should apt-get download sysvinit-utils and then (as I wrote to zap)
(version 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2, not 2.88dsf-59.9):

dpkg -i libfdisk1_2.29.2-1+devuan1_i386.deb util-linux_2.29.2-1+devuan1_i386.deb sysvinit-utils_2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2_i386.deb

(in one line, the mailer might wrap)

Then you can apt-get install -s openrc and only sysvinit-rc will be
removed in addition to libeinfo1 librc1 openrc (0.23-1+b1) being
installed.
