Erich,

Thanks for this

Src:syncthing is not forked in Debian and Devuan uses Debian's packages directly
without recompilation. SO this should be submitted to Debian's BTS for
resolution. You are more likely to have success with that if you can provide a
patch with a tested initscript. Do you have one to offer?

Thanks
