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.
If you stay with debian be prepared for systemd shooting it's foot in creative ways ...
Yeah, name my fears. Thanks! Seriously: I won't change a lot on that system anyway, so nevermind. And surely I won't install my first non-debian system NOT on a computer, which is not in my direct reach...
As a second step I'll watch out for devuan. And I'm all ears for better choices, but until now I haven't found a better support forum in my native tongue (german) other than debian. (Yeah, I know. But sometimes it is easier to have this problems discussed in your navite language)
