Right, I am trying to digest all this for when that day comes. But I think I may use that method for simply migrating to Devuan without reinstalling everything. There is a webpage somewhere that links from the Devuan pages. I can find it again, if anybody else out there is really interested.
Here you go:

Cheers!
Yup, that's it. I saved the page itself, but not the URL. Thanks for finding it. I have a feeling there will be others meeting us in Devuan Land someday in the near future.
Here's some good news, jessie-backports now has spectre patched kernel. 4.9.0-0.bpo.6-amd64 is patched, tested on AMD and Intel - Variant 1,2 and 3 patched.
Cheers!

Hello, I installed Debian to an external SSD from the most recent iso image and started to follow the migration instructions (webpage link above). BUT BEWARE ... the command root@devuan:~# apt-get purge systemd systemd-shim offers to also remove most of the Devuan setup and make it unbootable ! (no bloody way, mate) So the setup still appears to have both Devuan and systemd. I wonder what to do in this case. - R
