For TDE repositories (and probably for other special repos, too, desktops
or multimedia, etc.) it does not matter, as far as I know. Those are mostly
interchangeable, I think, at least for TDE. But Slavek and others will
know; I am just repeating what I've heard.
Different Debian releases are different snapshots in time. (Snapshots that
evolve over time but "snapshot" is close enough.)
Each Devuan release is mostly based on a particular Debian release but there
are more differences than you want to try to think about. Ubuntu releases
are even further from Debian - second cousins maybe.
So you want to choose precisely one Debian/Devuan/Ubuntu release and use the
matching TDE release that was compiled with the appropriate library versions.
