It would appear so, but just now it's hard to put the finger on the
exact spot where things are wired wrong. This is but one of the kinks
to expect in beta release, and the very reason why there is a beta
released in the first place. I'm sure it will eventually get sorted out.

And, FWIW, the backend-systemd could IMHO easily be dropped entirely,
as it would be rather peculiar for someone to actually try and force a
genuine systemd package into Devuan, of all systems. ;o)
