Hi Matthew, hi Ian, hi Peter, hi Andreas, hi everyone.

Andreas, debian-init-diversity is a new list where people who like to 
work on init diversity in Debian and for example keep sysvinit 
maintained coordinate with each other. See here:

You may like to check the packaging work of Andreas Messer within Devuan 
regarding elogind.

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/elogind

See for example branch "suites/ascii". Here for example the changelog 
from it:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/elogind/blob/suites/ascii/debian/
changelog

Maybe you can use some of this work or work together with the maintainer 
in Devuan.

Thanks,
