You don't want to let us have any fun at all. I think it was you who told me not to direct the laser pointer into my good eye.
I agree, of course, about not mixing Debian and Devuan. I was referring to third-party repositories. You will find that nearly all offer packages made for Debian, not Devuan. (TDE is just such a third-party repository; also, examples from my sources.list: vivaldi, signal, seamonkey, gnu.org, firstlookmedia, vivaldi, videolan, and Apache Open Office.) In those cases, Debian packages work just fine, at least for me; they don't make Devuan packages. But as for getting packages from the official Debian or Devuan repositories: definitely NO.
On a sidenote, I'd replace "chimera" with "daedalus". My /etc/apt/sourcec.list is like this:
Is daedalus a LTR? I think maybe that's partly why Leslie chose chimaera (just guessing). It's in the middle of the pack of stable releases with long-term support, not close to retirement, not brand-new and unstable.
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-testing daedalus deps extra main deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free
If you wonder which devuan repostitories exist, take alook here: http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/
This link is very useful. Thanks, Nik!
