A quick look indicated diffoscope Recommends systemd-ukify which then Recommends
the other 2.

I have no in-depth experience of any. You can always remove them or even prevent
apt installing them in the first with the --no-install-recommends flag.

I don't see anything to suggest they are at odds with Devuan's primary purpose
of avoiding systemd as PID1.

HTH.

Mark
