    Apparently I overlooked it a bit, however, if neither systemd nor
gvfs are explicitely targetted, systems running these softwares are. If
the executables are named systemd-daemon and gvfsd, it's for the process
names to be the same and not alarm the admin.

    If I discovered on one of  my Devuan machines a process named
systemd-what-the-f or gvfs-something, I would immediately kill it and
try to find where it comes from. But if I was running Gnome on Debian, I
certainly wouldn't.
