Refracta no-dbus build (experiment)

The subject of running without dbus comes up from time to time in various
places. I decided to try it and see how far I could get. I started with a
debootstrap install of devuan ascii, pinned dbus to a priority of -1, and
proceeded to make the same changes as I do to make Refracta live isos.
Normally, the Refracta isos use xfce, but that's not possible without dbus.

I was surprised to see how much did install without dbus. So I thought I'd
share it. This build uses openbox, lxpanel, lxterminal and spacefm.
Maybe someone will want to use it. Maybe it will inspire someone else to
do something better. Feeback is welcome.

These will NOT install. (and probably a lot more that I didn't try.)
