Nope, it definitely doesn't.  I've got it running on the wife's 
laptop.  You can see the details here: (scroll down a bit to the 
"init software" line):

I may give it (Devuan) another look one of these days.  I do like 
Debian and it's offspring fairly well.  Never cared much for the 
BSD's, although only ever tried the FreeBSD variant and that was 
long ago.  Never really saw the point of it - what does it do any 
better than Linux...?
