To disperse a misconception that you may have, devuan is solely debian
but without systemd. As such, any software not on the list of [banned
package][0] should work as is.

AFAIK the issue with Gnome is that it relies heavily on systemd
components. Thus the choice to not propose it by default. However it
should work just work by using elogind instead of consolekit.
