Thanks, both of you. Now, I see the use case of Devuan.
You should add
Packages from Debian's repositories are not incompatible, but they shouldn't be used without careful consideration.
or something along those lines to https://www.devuan.org/os/packages

The manual process of removing systemd dependencies from packages is either difficult or tedious, given the long delays between Debian and Devuan releases, and it doesn't yield desirable results, given that Debian and Devuan packages aren't compatible.
Excerpt from https://www.devuan.org/os/packages
Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should not be used directly.
Have you looked into using Portage to automatically remove systemd dependencies from packages and, in the fashion of Calculate Linux, distribute those compiled systemd-free packages as binaries?
The current development of Devuan (and other forks of corporatized operating systems) is the same as the process of "de-bloating" proprietary operating systems, common among Windows users.

All of the lines already have "non-free-firmware" appended after "main". # apt install firmware-amd-graphics did work. Thanks!

That didn't help, but during boot, I caught a glimpse of "ERROR" and "radeon" and this is what my # "nano /var/log/kern.log" said
[drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.
[drm:radeon_pci_probe [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for R600 or later requires firmware installed
See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware
[drm] linux how to see bootamdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.The Wiki doesn't say why the firmware is missing but the "Firmware missing from Debian" section did point me to the right place.
Now which "/tree/amdgpu/oland_*.bin" should I install?

My system has an AMD Radeon R7 240 graphics card, amdgpu module and modules that use it are loaded, VDPAU packages are installed but "vdpauinfo" returns
display: :0.0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1and "grep -i vdpau /var/log/Xorg.0.log" returns nothing
To fix this, should I add "export VDPAU_DRIVER=radeonsi" to the ".bashrc" file?
