I have no idea about that one.

I use Pulseaudio and I have runit start it with the session, using what 
I started here as user-services.git on the old Devuan gitlab, it appears 
it has not been migrated to the new Gitea at git.devuan.org.

I never completed that in any way. I would like to make it work also 
with system services and not use aliases but instead provide real shell 
script or something like that as a command.

But so many other things.

That KDE / Plasma packages got removed does not make sense to me… I 
still have them all with runit as PID 1 working just nice.

Well in a sense I bet it does. I believe I still need 'libpam-elogind-
compat'. Yep that is it:

% LANG=en apt purge libpam-elogind-compat

Read about the purpose of the package in its description:

 packages which have not yet been updated.
