(Note: in the comments below, my opinions are those of a Debian Developer
who's not active in Devuan. I'm these days the second most active package
reviewer, though, so probably they're worth some heed. I did not even look
at the package yet, though.)

I believe that it's still better to mark it as Devuan specific, especially
that it's wanted for Debian as well. Less confusion this way.

It's a bad idea to mix arch-indep files with arch-specific. Even worse, if
this library is to be ever used by programs other than elogind itself (and
if it were not, it shouldn't be a library), it would make it impossible to
multiarchize it.

And in any maintained derivative.


(I'd comment more once I get around to looking at the package itself.)
