I tried using the valentine installer on a disk that already had three 
primary partitions and a lot of empty space.

I could not get manual partitioning to leave the existing partitions 
alone and install devuan to secondary partitions in the empty space.  The 
closest I could get was a question whether I'd like it to replace the 
existing partition table with a new empty one.  Of course I answered 
'no'.  I wanted it to start from the existing partition structure.
'yes' seemed somewhat dangerous.

Well, in reality, those partitions wera a copy of files I had elsewhere 
and wanted to be able to use on the new system in a dual-boot 
configuration, so in theory I could have gone further and restored those 
partition later, and when I have time I may still do that to further test 
the installer.  But I'd rather test how well int cooperates with other 
existing systems.
