That green login screen is Slim display manager. I'm not sure what
changed, but it's now possible to install lightdm on Devuan Jessie without
pulling in any systemd libs. I just did it a couple hours ago, and I'm
pretty happy about it. Whoever did whatever to fix that, thank you.

At the lightdm login screen, you can choose the session you want by
clicking on the wrench icon in the upper right corner.
