my training in hermeneutics and epistemology rings a bell about this
being the wrong general attitude about changes and regressions, but
for now I just rest on the fact redis "just works" in Devuan ASCII
(using sysvinit) and that, as I stated at the beginning, this should
be an issue addressed by upstream rather than us. Upstream has been
warned. Lets all keep our eyes peeled for this and other packages.
