Already doing my homework online. If anybody wants links to Devuan stuff, by
the way, I found some interesting posts about what to install and purge, and
how to enable networking before installation (thus solving a big problem with
Debian-type installations); how to get rid of both systemd and dbus.
I hear that systemd is better in many ways, and that there really are two
sides to this story. However, I see how systemd performs on my system all the
time (especially when I try to shutdown or reboot), and I long for the
simple, slow sanity of sysvinit again.

If you stay with debian be prepared for systemd shooting it's foot in
creative ways ... As I point out in my "quick &
dirty" method, I avoid these problems by
saving the packages to an external drive, then use dpkg to install them
when necessary.
In the beginning of KDE4 I thought I might use trinity myself, but went
more "spartan" some time ago by using fluxbox. And since I learned, that
this "special" user tends to forget things anyway, I use anydesk now to
solve problems, which are the same anyway and are NOT depending on which
DE is used, so maybe I just use software from the official repros to
avoid trouble like this.
