 Yes. See attached file:
  1) libguestfs.txt 
So the fix for mount is correct.  I pushed that.

 No. See attached file:
   2) libguestfs-test-tool.txt

 But the "libguestfs-test-tool" is crying about a missing 
 "libsystemd.so.0". Devuan didn't have this. ...
...
 + echo guestfsd --verbose
 guestfsd --verbose
 + guestfsd --verbose
 guestfsd: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd.so.0: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory 
Does Devuan use Debian's packages unmodified or does it recompile
them?  While I understand Devuan's goal is to remove systemd, using
the unmodified Debian libguestfs package won't work because it needs
libsystemd.  It needs it to read journal log files from guests that
use journald, eg. for tools like virt-log accessing, say, a Fedora VM.

You can remove this dependency but only by recompiling libguestfs.
