I was going to say that earlier, but since I haven't actually tried this out yet, it seemed better to wait with suggestions. I think you want first to change your sources.list to Devuan repos, then install the relevant sysvinit components and run apt-get -f install and maybe apt-get dist-upgrade. Only then would I run apt-get purge of anything Debian or systemd. Let apt choose what to remove before purging anything. I tried earlier versions of Exelinux or Exegnu, and found it to be rather messy - like they were still in early development - and the same with most other Debian or Devuan systems that come prepackaged with Trinity. But if you have got a running system using it, that's a start. I'm curious to know what version you are running, just in case I should want to take a look when I try to migrate over to Devuan myself.
