..this and the usr-merge crap defeats the whole purpose of Devuan,
it's only useful for the systemd-fanbois who wanna make Linux distros
crappy desktop Wintendos, which is why those people should just buy
preinstalled Microsoft Windows for their desktop needs, it does a
better job as a desktop Wintendo for these systemd fanbois.


..if anyone here still is serious about Devuan and init freedom, the
message is clear, we need to ditch Debian as upstream for anything
that belongs in /sbin and /bin, which are the the few boot and system
recovery stuff we system admin (AKA root) need to boot a working up
and going, or to fix it, to get it up and ready for the above boot.

..my recommendation is we go to Slackware as upstream for
these few system boot or system recovery programs.

..for _anything_else_, used by common users on a fully booted up system,
we can carry on using Debian as upstream, as those programs will live
happily in /usr/bin without disturbing anything we do at our /, /sbin
or /bin, /etc, etc if the systemd fanbois try put crap up there, we
can simply have a cron job or a script wipe those crap links etc out of
our /sbin and /bin, and call reportbug to automagically prep yet another
package for transfer to Slackware as upstream.

...which messes up distro package management and denies local users
any rights to any software development they might wanna share or test
outside of their own /home/$user/ ...

..so here, you are a subversive systemd fanboi?
