Correct - although see my subsequent email saying that if you can avoid
installing "systemd" and instead install "the package that depends on
systemd", things are a lot simpler :)

No, this did what I wanted and it's a *far* neater solution.

I didn't want to end up with Debian anyway - the only purpose was to be able
to install FreeSwitch, find out how much of it really depended on systemd, and
then work out how to get the rest of it working on Devuan.

This way was quick, pretty easy, and very educational :)
