Trivial as in, somebody has to do it. The whole point of packaging is

And, because Debian (and presumeably Devuan) don't put stuff in
default locations, packaging involves changing the default locations
of things.
Where this leads is that down the road, we either need a full set of
Devuan-specific package maintainers, or everybody is back to compiling
and installing from upstream source.

Good evening, Miles! =)
If I might offer an opinion, I do not think that the situation is quite
that dire. The packages that require init scripts are a tiny fraction
of the entire repository. For the moment, the scripts Devuan needs are
still in the Debian archives as Jesse has System 5 support.
Devuan can just replicate them and support them moving forward.
