I don't believe I'm asking about "skipping releases", though (which is what is
referred to in the documentation as not supported).

My definition of skipping releases would be:

    Ascii (skip Beowulf) -> Chimaera

    Stretch (skip Buster) -> Bullseye

    Stretch (skip Buster or Beowulf) -> Chimaera

I'm not asking about any of those.

I'm asking about going from one version of Debian to the next version of
Devuan.

I bought a book on memory techniques, but I've forgotten where I put it.
