KDE 4.X install on Devuan

I am about to install Devuan Jessie 1.0.  I have been using KDE 4.13 and rather like it.  I am not a fan of KDE plasma (KDE 5.X).  How easy is it to install KDE 4 on Devuan?  Supposedly it will be supported until 2019.  Are there any special hoops I will have to jump through to install KDE 4.13?  If I manage that, I suspect I might need to mask KDE 5.X stuff to prevent update breaking my KDE install.  Any known gotchyas here?  Many thanks in advance.  Once I get things up and running, I will install Virtual Box and try a separate install using Enlightenment.  Enlightenment is up to .22.1.  Is anybody here using that?  Anything that I should take into consideration with doing that on Devuan?  The Enlightenment developers are moving towards using Wayland.   How is Devuan dealing with Wayland?
