Hello list, just FYI:
Debian/testing has just updated the sysvinit packages (initscripts, sysv-rc, sysvinit-core, sysvinit-utils) from 2.88dsf-59 to 2.88dsf-59.1. This introduces a dependency on mount (>= 2.26.2-3). Whereas the the sysvinit packages in Devuan/testing are still being merged from Debian, Devuan ships its own util-linux 2.25.2-4.1+devuan1, thus breaking the dependency. (Issue reported on GitLab.) The technical background (as I understand it) is to move certain utilities, particularly mountpoint, from sysvinit-utils to util-linux, which superficially seems legit to me. The political background, however, seems to be to remove the last remaining dependencies on sysvinit-scripts from systemd, presumably just one more step towards eventually dropping sysvinit support from Debian altogether. Well, not very surprising, but still sad. Again, thanks to all the folks working on and supporting Devuan, striving to still provide us with a working systemd-less yet still Debian-like distribution in the future!
