Thanks, Florian. I guess UEFI will become unavoidable and so I'll have
to stick with GRUB. I'll pursue Grub customization. Meanwhile I'll block
the new kernel as you suggest with GRUB_DEFAULT=1.

With the new installation I did quite a few updates and safe-upgrades,
but none brought in the 4.5.0 kernel as far as I know. It was only
because for some reason I searched the archive for linux-image that I
discovered it and installed it. Does not its presence in the Devuan beta
Jessie repository mean that the 4.5.0 kernel is considered stable?
