Hi,

thanks for testing the document :)

yes, there are several things to be added. Hope you are keeping a list.

The next step depends on which release you would like to build your
package for. Now, the norm would be to build for unstable, and have
the packages "percolate" down to testing and then
backports/updates. However, in Devuan this flow has been interrupted,
since we started working on Jessi which was already frozen.

In other words: If you want to have your de-systemd-ised package in
jessie, at this point you should build for
jessie-proposed-updates. This means that you should get the latest
available version in Jessie (in this case it might be 2.3.4-5+deb8u2)
and prepare a "jessie-proposed-updates" branch.

Hope this helps. Please shout if you need help, or come to
#devuan-dev, which is quicker.
