Debian installer offers four major DEs as an option: GNOME, KDE, Xfce,
LXDE.

For a decade, I've been using Fluxbox as window manager. I have no
intend to change any window manager over Fluxbox unless there is
significant benefit from it.

Debian users are scarce nowadays. Even in Debian community hanful of
developers and users honor the FOSS idealogy. The rest seems to little
care or to follow the decision without questioning.

How many users who move into Devuan expect full DE installation? I
think providing one or two light DE as option will be fine. Also Devuan
needs to select DEs that have minimal to no infection by the systemd
monster.
