Hello Dev1fanboy,

do you see any serious reason to avoid installing the new desktop
environment /before/ rebooting? At least for now, when upgrading from
Debian Jessie to Devuan Jessie, the kernel version doesn't change and
consequently the modules remain compatible. So AFAIU a reboot would not
be necessary at all.

Even if the kernel version should change (e.g. when upgrading from
Debian Wheezy), the dist-upgrade will not trigger the loading of any
modules, so a hint to avoid doing any fancy stuff during the upgrade
process (and do a reboot afterwards) should be more than enough.

Regards,

Florian
