It may be complete enough for that. Depends on your hardware,
perhaps.

I was asking if Devuan is complete enough that it can be used by someone
willing to put work in fixing bugs.
Yes. I recommend signing up on
https://git.devuan.org/
for that purpose.
Kind regards,

This presently doesn't work on Debian wheezy because the corresponding
dpkg-parsechangelog doesn't support -S. Using sed to extract this field,
as in
DSUITE=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Distribution: \(.*\)/\1/p')
would be more portable. Further, the postinst building code is "oneshot

True, but beware that their perception of "a good cause" may be completely off
the wall.
The "final solution" in 1930's Germany comes to mind as an example of this...

Hello KatolaZ and Rainer,
I thank both of you for your replies and before anything else I would
like to state that I am someone who has accomplished next to no
mentionable contributions to free software at all.
What I do have is lots of project experience and even a little
background in research
I'm looking for an upgrade path for a Debian wheezy installation I can't
keep forever. I wouldn't mind some rough edges as I'm perfectly capable
of fixing any bugs I could conceivably encounter myself but I'd prefer
having a workable base to start from over "Linux From Scratch".
Also, is there som

The free software community is probably one of the last truly
