thanks for double-checking. having so many packages removed after
desktop-base would be a problem to be fixed in Devuan, especially
considering needs of derivative distros.

OT: after so many years I reverted to use wmaker as my wm (and it
makes me happy!) noticing it has no Devuan themeing. In this as in
other window managers this is a task open for volunteers willing to
help. Anyone interested is very welcome!
