        all packages that depends on any systemd components usually

      I wrote before, to avoid the impression that I just have it now.

      I have been using that 

/etc/apt/preference.d/00blocksystemd

      file since I moved to Devuan years ago. If I could not install
      packages because of they depend on any systemd components, I
      usually try to find alternatives as that means those packages are
      not for me. If I really really need them, then I usually don't
      have any choice than to recompile them without those stupid
      dependencies.
