Will this work for an i386 machine, as well? I did try installing Devuan, but
without success (as it seems the process used by their installation disc
wants to overwrite my home folder); I also gave exegnulinux, but that also
was unsatisfactory.
If your home folder lives on the same partition as /, then you'll have some work to do
:-)
My current system is Debian Jessie, and runs pretty
much like I want, except
for some minor bugs. My biggest complaint is systemd, and I really want to go
back to using sysvinit.
Also: I wonder if it is possible to switch to Devuan without doing a complete
reinstallation? i.e., after changing over to sysvinit, can I enable Devuan
repositories (and disable Debian), then do something like
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
or whatever?

You can move from debian jessie to devuan jessie without problems, just follow the guide
https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/stable-jessie-announce-052517 section
"Upgrade". When you do the upgrade, please do it on a console, not on a X11
terminal.
