Aihe: [devuan-dev] bug#503: bug#503: Let's fork iwd for Devuan
I just check in testing debian and

#apt show iwd

Package: iwd
Version: 1.8-1
Priority: optional
Section: net
Maintainer: Andreas Henriksson <andreas@???>
Installed-Size: 2 019 kB
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27), libreadline8 (>= 6.0)
Download-Size: 483 kB
APT-Manual-Installed: yes
APT-Sources: tor+http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian testing/main amd64 Packages
Description: wireless daemon for Linux
Minimalistic wireless daemon that uses modern Linux interfaces like
cfg80211 and nl80211 (netlink). The daemon provides a D-Bus API.
.
The daemon can be controlled from the command line with the included
iwctl client utility.
.
The included iwmon utility can be used to monitor the 802.11 subsystem
generic netlink commands and events. It uses the nlmon kernel driver
from Linux 3.10 and later.


If it s the right package it’s look like their is no dependencies to
systemd.
