Package: fwupd
Version: 1.5.7-4

Dear maintainer,

The fwupd package on Devuan only ships systemd services and timers.
To be functional on Devuan it should ship sysvinit scripts and a refresh cron job, instead.

I verified this "bug" to occur on beowulf and chimaera.

AFAICS, the systemd timer to update motd requires manual activation by the
sysadmin, so Debian maintainers agree with you on this! See data/motd/README.md
in the source.

Devuan doesn't currently fork this package, so maybe the best solution is to
submit a cron fragment to Debian for inclusion in contrib or similar.
