I've set up an extra partition /dev/sda5 using a vanilla Devuan Jessie.
On /dev/sda3 I run Devuan Ascii, so I'm free to fsck up the whole
distro on /dev/sda5 :)

And before that I create an "image" of the working Jessie:

rsync -ax / /opt/backup/

terribly goes wrong :)

I think many more people should take the time to test it. That's why I
suggested to create shadow packages. I think vdevd is essential to
Devuan. As someone said here on this list today: we should not depend
too much on a distro like Debian. I have nothing against systemd, I
have something againt its imperialism.
