Nik,

Exegnu is designed to be pure devuan with TDE and a few other additions, 
mostly as custom deb packages.. exegnu-userdefaults-trinity (description 
incorrectly says jessie, its now for beowulf>) is the one which does 
what it suggests (including skel configs)

     all          Search, stream and download YouTube content.


live-config-trinity is the other one, this sets the live-config 
functions for TDE (for a live system), which is unsupported in the 
mainstream.

The rest are packages not available elsewhere or rebuilds with extra 
functionality and none are essential.

BTW Exegnu is built from a clean bootstrap and isn't actually 
Refracta-based. Although I have been involved also with Refracta and of 
course include some of the excellent Refracta tools in exegnu.

Cheers,
