You might want devuan - but it's not exactly a drop-in replacement. Anyway, this is what I usually do:

1) install "apt-mark" and save the list of manually installed packages:
	apt-mark showmanual > manual.txt
2) make a backup of your data and/or get a new/clan ssd for the OS - or at least make a copy of /etc for config files you might want to reuse, e.g. "rsync -av /etc /home/dep/etc-saved"
3) make a copy of /root - you'll want to keep it for later, too - "rsync -av /root /home/dep/root-saved"
4) make a copy of you $HOME e.g. "rsync -av /home/dep /home/dep-save"
5) make a minimal clean installation of devuan daedalus http://vagrant.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/installer-iso/ and create your user account
6) change /etc/apt/sources.list to include TDE + install the TDE keyring
7) apt update
8) install al manually installed packages from before:
	# apt install $(cat manual.txt)
9) move the new $HOME out of the way and replace it with your old $HOME, e.g.:
	# mv /home/dep /home/dep-new
	# mv /home/dep-save /home/dep
10) reboot + log in

You'd be up and running in ~ 2 hours. Keep in mind, that some of TDEs configs are in /root/.trinity - that's why you need to keep it. Also note that it might be a good idea to change from "sudo" to "doas"-
