Yes, thanks. On a quick look all of your difficulties look related to tasksel. I
think the basic process I posted is OK.

Thanks.

I think this is a problem in devuan's task-xfce-desktop.

We are quite behind debian (buster has 3.53, beowulf has 3.48+devuan1.1) and
devuan's version also has a (now) unhelpful dependency on
libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0.

Could you try removing task-xfce-desktop first?

Thanks.
