I vote for staying as near as possible to debian. Keep it simple. Keep
the workload as low as possible. Let's quote Lennart Poettering:
"Systemd is open source, so if you don't like it, you can fork it!"

Just change Systemd to Devuan and you have what i want to say. Please
consider this worth thinking about... Maybe we should first have at
least one stable devuan release and then talk about minor changes...
