..the systemd approach was (and still is?) convert (or "generate")
sysvinit scripts into systemd unit files.
"All" we need to do, is reverse this approach to support or convert
"native systemd" software with "no non-systemd support" into something
we _can_ use.

..the 4 other kinds of software: 0. has no need for "init support",
1. "is natively supported by all native Devuan init systems", and
2. buggy ones where we need to yank libsystemd0 etc "support", and
3. "has native support by a native Devuan init system" where we can
fetch the source UPSTREAM of Debian.org and build as Devuan .debs,
you know, just like Debian.org USED to do in the good old day before
pulseaudio etc.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
