If it's any help, I've uploaded a bash script as
www.realthing.com.au/files/vdev/install-gnuinos.vdev.sh which steps
through all the steps for installing the gnuinos vdev bundle for a
pristine Devuan 1.0.0 installation. It documents what I did some few
days ago, and as the debs get updated some steps might not be needed.

The script is totally uncommented, but fairly straight-forward.
