I think that systemd takes care of it, with or without acpid, but I'm not sure about that. If this is a consequence of choosing non-systemd, then perhaps it should be mitigated by the sans systemd system installing acpid. > Whether you consider it a shortcoming of Debian (and therefore Devuan) that > acpid and acpid-support-base are not installed by default is up to you. Debian, no need for acpid for vm but only if systemd is installed, is that correct? > My solution is that I've added these packages to the script I run immediately > after creating a VM, to make sure it works the way I want it to. Yeah, it was a pain point until I worked it out.
