If that's a genuine question, and if that interests others, I'd be glad to
post my upgrade notes. There are many resources out there, of which I'd
recommend (at least):

  https://wiki.debian.org/systemd#Installing_without_systemd
  http://noone.org/talks/debian-ohne-systemd/debian-ohne-systemd-clt.html

... and many more. Note that "fat" desktop environments are becoming
more and more dependent on systemd: no idea whether the Devuan people
are doing something about that. I don't use a desktop environment
(just a window manager), so I'm unaware of problems there.

There are a few little snags, but all of them surmountable (X server
is one. I'd have to check my notes, but ISTR you need an xserver-xorg-legacy
package (installing a setuid wrapper for the X server, a role picked
up by systemd in systemd systems).

But it ain't rocket science, really.
