In Devuan, we have our own software called "Amprolla" that basically
acts as an overlay to the Debian repositories. Systemd-dependent
packages like php-fpm or anything else that's been compiled with systemd
support we recompile without, and put it in our own repos. Right now
we're at about 300 packages that have been compiled specifically for
Devuan (without the need for systemd), and anything else, Amprolla
resolves and gets from the Debian repos, so you still have all 40k+
packages that are already in Debian.
Also, while we still mark it as beta, I can assure you it's perfectly
stable and production ready if that's of any worry for you.
