I don't know about ascii, I am running Devuan Jessie on an Olimex board
that did require a tweak due to a hardware change affecting the Ethernet
port. The 4.8 kernel supplied with the Devuan image does not contain
the fix for that change.

I need an updated Python for SSL support and am compiling 2.7.14 and
3.6.3 locally rather than upgrading to ascii since a dist-upgrade
proposed to remove udev rather than upgrade it due to the dependency of
util-linux (IIRC) being unavailable. That depends on libsystemd0 per
the Debian packages page, so that appears to need to be resolved before
even an upgrade of a very minimal jessie installation to ascii is
possible.
