Hello Nik,
Thanks for the reply. For now, I have installed Debian 9 to an unused
area of the laptop's SSD. In the migration instructions I followed
most of the steps but stopped at the command "apt-get purge systemd
systemd-shim". It offered in part to do the following:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
caja* dbus-user-session* gvfs* gvfs-backends* gvfs-daemons* libpam-systemd*
lightdm* mate-applets* mate-control-center* mate-desktop-environment*
mate-desktop-environment-core* mate-panel* mate-polkit* mate-power-manager*
mate-settings-daemon* network-manager* network-manager-gnome* policykit-1*
synaptic* systemd* systemd-sysv* task-mate-desktop* udisks2*
The following NEW packages will be installed:
initscripts insserv startpar sysv-rc sysvinit-core
But I am reluctant to proceed, apprehensive of clobbering the system.
What do you think?

Just proceed. Keep in mind, "debian 9" matches "devuan ascii", so
please adjust your sources accordingly.
MATE will be gone after the next reboot, so you'll most likely end at a real console.
Do a "aptitude dist-upgrade" after the next reboot and install TDE. Use
"apt-show-version" to figure out which packages are a leftover from debian and
need to be replaced with devuan versions. If you run into problems with consolekit, just
drop a line.
For reference, I've added my sources.list
Nik
