You can already run Debian without systemd today. There's absolutely no need in the fragmentation Devuan creates.

I'm under the impression that Devuan's purpose is to actually progress into the future without systemd.

I am not under the impression that Debian strives to make progress on the systemd-less use case, it seems more like a minimally supported mode.

But it's not something I've investigated, so take that with a big grain of salt.
