Currently running Debian SID, with separate /, swap, and /home

I don't suppose switching is as easy as simply replacing the / partition
with a new install, preserving the old data?
Yes it is easy. Choose the same partition layout in the installer, but
only format the root partition. Disable formatting on the home
partition. After installation create the users as before, and all
should work again as before.

Changing from debian sid to devuan jessie or ascii might leave you with
one or two 'interesting' problems to fix. Most packages in debian sid
are at a higher version number than packages in devuan jessie or ascii.
The .config and other setup files you have in ~/ might not work with the
'down-graded' version of the package you are about to install.
As you are used to the occasional problems we get when running sid I'm
sure you'll be able to cope!
