Thanks, Florian. I guess UEFI will become unavoidable and so I'll have to stick with GRUB. I'll pursue Grub customization. Meanwhile I'll block the new kernel as you suggest with GRUB_DEFAULT=1. With the new installation I did quite a few updates and safe-upgrades, but none brought in the 4.5.0 kernel as far as I know. It was only because for some reason I searched the archive for linux-image that I discovered it and installed it. Does not its presence in the Devuan beta Jessie repository mean that the 4.5.0 kernel is considered stable?
