Devuan is serving a need. It is not trolling.

That need is already fulfilled by Debian? Just install sysvinit. (edit:) Also consider that if Debian would stop supporting sysvinit, a distribution adding support for it again would be a real effort compared to just installing a different init system by default.

Some desktop environments might want systemd-logind+systemd-shim, but that's really not different from installing systemd-elogind in Devuan...
