Can't you do that pretty much with mc? I'd suppose it weould be pretty
easy -- assuming all the Debians and Debian dilutions use apt -- to add
the TDE repositories by using the mc editor -- F4 -- to place them, then
do update / apt install tde. no?

Maybe that's what I have been missing. I am about to reinstall my system to
get rid of a minor nuisances, so it would be a good time to try it.
The main thing is, I have my own sources.list which replaces the default
Debian/Devuan sources.list, and my list includes TDE repositories. So if
there is a way to get my own sources.list recognized during the process, that
would save me at least an hour of time when doing a system reinstallation.
Not sure if we are talking about quite the same thing, so just to be clear: I
am installing Devuan using an image on a flash drive. If there is a way to
get my sources.list recognized during installation (or better yet, to write
my own sources.list over the default, so that the TDE repositories are
available during installation of a new system), for myself that would be like
discovering fire or inventing stone tools.
