Certainly 21.1.7-1devuan1 has a patch to use libseat1. This is part of our drive
to get away from systemd.

From NEWS:

xorg-server (2:21.1.5-1devuan1) unstable; urgency=medium

  This version includes a patch to use libseat for controlling rootless startx and
  access to input and video devices. libseat can use either seatd or (e)logind
  as a backend. If you need to override the default choice, use the
  LIBSEAT_BACKEND environment variable.

Please reinstall libpam-elogind. That should pull in libelogind-compat which
provides libsystemd0. It will also replace dummy-logind which you definitely
don't want (read its description).

I think libelogind-compat is the cruicial package here you were missing.

Thanks
