If all else fails, I could probably use dpkg to force-install an older/newer version of the package (from stretch or bullseye?), just to see if I can make it work. It would probably work as a standalone package without systemd if I used the stretch version (just a hunch, based on past experience); I've done this with a few problematic items, and they often run just fine, but then when I try to install something else or upgrade, the system wants to remove them. As I am still new to beowulf/buster, I am trying to play nice, follow the rules, and avoid anything too weird. Once I know it better, I'll find a way to make it do what I want. Maybe Slavek will get drawn into this discussion. I feel sure that he gets the no-systemd crowd.
