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.
