dear Jochen,

tl;dr - just like Debian does, we do recommend using Raspian on rpi1
boards version 1 to take full advantage of their rather strange
architecture.

I was indeed surprised to read an rpi1 is 'armhf' platform. Thanks
Katolaz and others for clarifying, did recall some discussion about
this in the past but lacked the details.

The main reasons why Devuan acts like Debian in this case is that in
Jessie we only operate to remove systemd, nothing else changes, while
we still rely heavily on Debian for the bulk of binary builds.

the Devuan installers for embedded architectures are all here
