"Us" as in "I'm contributing lines of code" or "us" as "I'm writing an 
howto"?

You're still living in a parallel reality.
There are tens of reasonably successful "forks" of Debian and many for 
reasons I find less important than providing an alternative init.

You keep on describing what happened as a conspiracy of dumb and evil 
people.
And this conspiracy has involved most of the leading distributions.

Can you justify that other than with a surge of mad cow disease?

If there is any chance that the effort put into making Debian support 
more than one init as smoothly as possible the prerequisite is 
developers start to respect each other work.

Infact it is gratuitous drama that is putting the relevance of this 
project at risk.

Throwing shit around is not going to get you a good reputation among 
upstream.
Denial is not going to get patches into Debian.

And you are not helping in ANY way.

Not that devuan success is anywhere near the top of my priorities, but 
it looks I do care more than you.

It's time to tune your approach to the problem.
