I apologize for being so slow, but problems abound. I decided to try the
devuan installation with the installer ISO on a key. I used the
devuan-jessie-i386-alpha4-netboot.iso. However, when it came time to
download installation components from the devuan archive, it failed:
"Bad archive mirror".

The archive it tried was us.mirror.devuan.org. Shouldn't it be
us.mirror.devuan.org? When I used debootstrap to produce the broken base
system, it created a sources.list with the entry: deb
http://debootstrap.invalid/ jessie main.

As for your script, I remain lost (I'm not a programmer, but a social
scientist). I don't know what the variable "device-name" refers
to. Perhaps to the /dev/sda1 to which I'm trying to install devuan. I
assume that second and third stage refer to phases in the installation
process, but I have no idea what they are. If you are simply suggesting
I rerun debootstrap several times, I actually did it at least twice, and
still get the message that seems to imply my libc version is wrong.

Perhaps my problem was that I unpacked the devuan.debian.tar.gz archive
on the target /mnt/debinist/usr/share. If instead I run

# dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.75-1+devuan1_all.deb

I fear it will overwrite the debootstrap on my current Wheezy Debian
system and break it.
