Then why does the package contain an initscript?

I would have thought the initscript needs fixing. If you can write a patch and
include that in your Debian bug report, you are much more likely to have
success.

If kea really requires systemd, that dependency needs to be stated, and the
package will disappear from Devuan.

HTH.
