This is quite... disappointing. Not to start flame war, but for my taste
libelogind0 it is no better than libsystemd0. Not sure I have motivation
to contribute to Devuan in this case.
Sorry for noise and time spent.

Okay. By the way, it is dpkg --ignore configuration, not apt. Something
like
echo 'path-exclude=/var/lib/system/*' >> /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/exclude
