Honestly, I've not yet had a chance to try those out, having been
stretched too thin, lately, by $DAYJOB and other matters. So, I've been
lately relying on details provided by others. When I have a chance, I
will indeed see about a fresh experiment using Stretch and its official
packages (before, no doubt, fooling around with it and transforming it
past recognition ;-> ).

Anyway, if you see any blunders I made in that page, I'd be grateful to
hear about it, as always.

FWIW, I also long past stopped wanting to stick with Official Debian,
anyway. The systemd / freedestkop.org nuisance is just one more reason
to seek better ways to install / maintain a debianesque system. Back a
in the early 2000s, I got so tired of hearing people complain about
the Official Debian d-i images (with the implication that it was the
only way to install a Debian-type system) that I compiled a list of
alternative installer images / methods, by way of response:
