To let the upgrade path more easy and transparent, devuan 1 will be
called jessie.

From post devuan 1 release, we will choose our codenames...

yes, of course!

Moving from debian jessie to devuan jessie it's matter to execute a
script or manually install a package and then fix dependencies. it
should be fairly trivial, except for complex gnome based configs
probably.

Moving from debian wheezy to devuan jessie should be as easy as
dist-upgrade to debian jessie, except we will need to choose what to do
with complex gnome based installs.

In both case we will probably stick on systemd-shim for devuan jessie,
and then move on loginkit or something like that in future.

Only one another path should be officially supported: the install from
scratch using devuan installer
