..the Raspian people calls their BCM2835 hardware arch armhf, while
we and Debian calls it armel. Our armhf might work on RPi 2 and 3,
but will fail on RPi 1 and Zero.

..you will need to add the armel arch and replace all Raspian's armhf
binaries with our armel binaries, and probably throw in some nefarious
magic, to get in working your way.


..devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armel_raspi1.img.* works fine on my RPi1, FWIW.
