I did 3 merges on this laptop yesterday, Jessie, ASCII and Beowulf, I've
got this stuff down, first simply install sysvinit-core and then reboot
and install the devuan repos and keyring so you can update aptitude,
install aptitude if you don't have it and with the devuan repos now
working, aptitude update and then aptitude dist-upgrade and see how that
works. Works swell for me, also I go to synaptic where I can change
some package versions, I can see them in synaptic as obsolete and I
change them to the devuan version and fix it all up where it's a nice
clean system. Remember to not use the Debian repos when you do the
dist-upgrade, it won't work having both devuan and debian. I hope this
helps.
Cheers!

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? On 22 April 2018 at 12:28, Jimmy Johnson

Hello,
I installed Debian to an external SSD from the most recent iso image
and started to follow the migration instructions (webpage link above).
BUT BEWARE ... the command
root@devuan:~# apt-get purge systemd systemd-shim
offers to also remove most of the Devuan setup and make it unbootable
! (no bloody way, mate)
So the setup still appears to have both Devuan and systemd. I wonder
what to do in this case.

Please follow these stept to move from debian jessie to devuan jessie:

Then you might want to move to devuan ascii :-)
