Yes, that is a disaster... My hope was, that at least Devuan is able to
mitigate it and keeping up the good quality that Debian was before
systemd.

However, I also see that there seems to be only few persons behind to do
the work.

It might be needed to fork the distribution completely. Well, at least
with the main packages. There could still be some compatibility left for
contrib and non-free. I mean, debian was small too in the past. Why not
start from scratch? (You even don't need to start without anything)
Maybe it is time for a cut.

I try to fix packages myself as I did for openssh[0], pcre2[1] and since
today pcsc-lite[2]. And I have now a massive ansible role to fix all the
debian bugs as well as nagios check for broken libraries that should be
in /lib.

The last one will never be an option for me! Before that I would destroy
all my computers first or migrate to windows! (What, if you know me, I
would never do.)

The first would be a solution only up to when the support for that
distribution ends.
