I would expect to see a package called ukui, or ukui-desktop and probably task-ukui-desktop, too. Didn't find them in sid or at salsa.debian.org.
You could install the ukui parts after an install of the base system without a desktop, or you could install the base system and drop to a shell before exiting the installer, and install the parts in a chroot. (the installer makes this easy). My preference is to reboot into the installed base system first, and then add other things. Seems to be safer and easier in the long run.

# One of the actual desktop tasks is needed to get a full desktop environment.
# The order here is significant when installing this task manually;
# when tasksel installs this task it instead selects one of these based
# on the tasksel/desktop debconf setting.
# task-xfce-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-mate-desktop | task-gnome-desktop ,
## task-xfce-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-lxqt-desktop | task-mate-desktop ,
task-xfce-desktop | task-cinnamon-desktop | task-lxde-desktop | task-kde-desktop | task-lxqt-desktop | task-mate-desktop | task-gnome-desktop | task-ukui-desktop
Where task-ukui-desktop would be a full DE installer similar to the rest of them.
Package: task-ukui-desktop
Architecture: all
Description: UKUI

the UKUI desktop environment, and with other packages that Devuan users
expect to have available on the desktop.

Would this suffice and how would it be possible to create a task-ukui-desktop package?

If technically talking UKUI is not reliable then I'm ok with MATE or XFCE.
My goal with this forum post was to know a little about Devuan roadmap regarding DEs and your opinion that's all
]]>Do you know that kind of feeling where you make the mistake and keep reading about something and somehow you think ... maybe I should take the safety off as I may have gone too far?
]]>Just FYI . . . an oldie but goodie
systemd is a trojan. systemd is a medusa. systemd is Substance D.
systemd is scary - not just because it's tools suck, or because it's
a massive fucking hairball - but because architecturally it has way
too much concentrated power. We all need to collectively expel it from
our midst because it will own Linux, and by extension us and our
freedoms. systemd will *be* Linux. Sit idly by and ignore this fact at
all of our collective peril.
Very well stated
]]>Hello guys, I see that UKUI is systemd based... Didn't know that thanks!
If you're promoting an OS how can you or the writer of that blog not know something so basic? I searched for "UKUI systemd" and nothing came up. fungus dug a little deeper. Users who think like this treat their computer as an APPLIANCE and really don't give a toss what's under the hood. These are the same mindless users that take whatever MS or UKUI gives them. Mainstreaming Linux for users like that will be its undoing.

]]>In fact, there are many Linux enthusiasts that don't like Windows inspired desktop environments but at the end it depends on the likes of each end user right?
I'm writing from the MATE Desktop and I like it too much, but I think I would feel more comfortable with UKUI
Anyways, I am aware that UKUI may never reach Devuan... But I wanted to know what did you think
