The result of yesterday's effort was a hardware-accelerated VESA screen:
> https://attachment.irregulaire.info/VESA-amdgpu-config.tx.xz
and this is probably where one should leave it at, because figuring out a
feasible good configuration for amdgpu driver will require some additional
research.
So far the whole installation-process took me about 4 -5 hours.
Debian does not give any hints on how to configure modes and screens for
amdgpu:

This is seemingly the default config-stub in linux, while everything else is
auto-configured or auto-probed respectively.
[radeon] driver is used on my linux desktop-frontend, because it is a
slightly seasoned PC already.

Gold, excellent!
but the criticism is really, that attachments get stripped, and as far as I
can see, the amdgpu - ports twist of wickedness is not properly documented, I
found out only upon cracking my head over this for several hours, didn't I?
And luckily I remembered.

Graphics basically workable already, but software-rasterized, not
hardware accelerated.
xorg had to be set up separately, and then I remember again, that AMD
drivers respective firmware had to be compiled from ports-collection, so
graphics become in fact hardware-accelerated, looking forward to it.
