We should all keep in mind that not all repos have "wheezy" as an option;
some only have stable/testing/unstable. That may prove troublesome for
some of us in the future. My primary desktop has already been assimilated
by the systemd collective. As soon as we get a stable image of Devuan
running, I will rebuild my desktop for the first time in 4 years. Good
luck!
