Isabella,

Thanks very much for this.

Caddy is not forked in Devuan, and we use Debian's packages directly without
recompilation. This issue will also be evident in a non-systemd Debian
installation. So, ideally, it should be fixed in Debian for the benefit of
all. Therefore, I suggest you submit your script to Debian's BTS.

You also might want to utilise init-d-script(5) which can produce very compact
LSB scripts that are less frightening to those accustomed to systemd units.

Thanks

Mark
