That happened on 2024-06-25, almost a year ago.

The change is *not* in Daedalus. It is in Excalibur.

Reading the commit diff:

Those alt-init entries are only present in the advanced grub menu if you
have any of the SUPPORTED_INITS installed and /sbin/init is not a link
to it.

The list of SUPPORTED_INITS is
- /lib/sysvinit/init
- /lib/systemd/systemd
- /sbin/upstart

Devuan doesn't ship the last two AFAIK, so there is very little chance
your advanced boot menu options will change. You'd have to install
sysvinit together with any of the other inits.

I use runit-init myself. That conflicts with sysvinit-core so there's
no way my advanced would have a menu entry to boot /lib/sysvinit/init.

Hope this helps,
