Maybe it's just me but I don't understand what you're contemplating.

Why do you think Devuan should use a more complicated set of suites than
Debian?

Ceres is aliased to `sid`, so it's not testing, but unstable. The way
Debian handles testing, code freezes, etc. is not 1:1 with Devuan (or so
I hope), so jessie+1 in both distributions will certainly be different
(more than Jessie). My guess is that the automation jaromil and nextime
are setting up now will ease the integration of upstream packages, in a
way that will make Devuan a faster moving target than Debian. It's not
necessary to rush things and make anything more complicated: Debian's
release cycle has been delivering stability and we should probably keep
most of it. If Devuan release cycle differs, it's on the pace it
integrates new packages in Ceres, not how these packages enter testing, IMO.
