If you're going from bookworm to excalibur, you're doing an upgrade at the same time as the migration, so it's probably a good idea to look over the upgrade instructions. One gotcha on upgrade is that you must install the usrmerge package before you upgrade. I don't think it matters if your sources are pointed to bookworm or excalibur for that package. (I've done it both ways.)

Good day,

I'm doing quite a number of VPS deploys across various providers for anycast type reasons, and... Debian is always there... just me wanting Devuan obviously...

So: Is there some "how-to" to do a Debian-> Devuan conversion?
Typically it'll be Bookworm (Trixie still "new"), but just wondering about any gotchas documented my searchAIfu haven't yet find?
