libczmq-dev comes from src:czmq which is not a forked package in Devuan. We use
Debian's packages directly without recompilation. Therefore the libsystemd-dev
dependency is expected.

The only reason to install the package I can see is as a build dependency of
another source package in which case you need to use a build chroot as
documented in libelogind0's README.Debian[1].

Or do you have another reason to install the package outside a chroot?

Thanks.
