I am not aware of such a thing, but SystemD supports the "legacy" SysV init scripts out of the box. This feature is required for certain Debian packages, as not all of them ship with proper SystemD units, yet. see: https://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/debugging-systemd-sysv-init-compat https://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/debugging-systemd-sysv-ini... https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-systemd-sysv-generator/ https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-systemd-sysv-g...

Its name is systemd and Devuan does not permit lovers of init freedom to use it. * https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=systemd-sysv&release=ascii https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=sys... * https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=stretch&searchon=names&keywords=systemd-sysv https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=stretch&searchon=na... And in any case, the unit files that it auto-generates are (alas! from necessity) too generic to be completely useful, because they have a one size fits all approach that does not really work fully for anything. * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/233581/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/233581/5132 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/394191/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/394191/5132 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/387314/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/387314/5132 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/386876/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/386876/5132

  > Its name is systemd and Devuan does not permit lovers of init freedom to use it. I don't understand your tone here. The Devuan project is ~150 packages on top of Debian that aim specifically to remove the systemd dependencies. "Init freedom lovers", as you put it, can still use Debian, no?

    When you read the headlined article and other announcements you will understand that it is not how I put it.
