While I speak only of my own concern, I suspect it will become
increasingly common: how to do a seamless install of Devuan from an
existing Debian Jessie? As folks try Jessie and experience more problems
than they had with older version of Debian, they will consider migrating
to Devuan while preserving all the Jessie packages and configurations
they can.

While I'm at it, I'd also like to see udev cease being default and
replaced by eudev. I'm interested in people's thoughts about this.
