I see. Yes, if you want gvfs you'd currently need to
rely on angband[1]. For dbus the Devuan version should
be fine — ­at least it is here.

Well, I am not one of the purists, and on my personal
desktop I am willing to take some risks, as I usually
know how to weasel my way out of potential trouble.
(My system is roughly 97% Ascii, 1% Jessie, 1% Ceres,
1% angband-nosystemd, and it currently feels like the
most stable De??an system I ever ran since Squeeze.)

But yes, you can certainly mess up your system in
oh-so-many ways. But IMHO not as bad as by installing
systemDebian Jessie. It all depends on how much risk
you accept, and backups have always been a Good Idea™.

Last not least, I'd never do this while _not_ at home,
IOW on some sort of production or workplace machine.


[1] My current angband-nosystemd list encompasses:
cups, gvfs, pulse, openssh, udisks2.
