Thanks Nik! The log info is exactly what was needed. Thanks also Robert 
and kanenas.

"/bin/bash" is used in the installer's grub-install lines 1068, 1075, 
1119 .. but this seems to have stopped working in recent grub versions.

Removing "/bin/bash" from those lines of /usr/bin/exegnu-installer 
should fix the problem. You could copy it to userspace then edit and run 
it from there.

It will take till tomorrow morning to test this and post a fixed ISO 
(upload restrictions). Till then you could either edit exegnu-installer 
or try the alternative "refracta-installer" in the system menu.

As is TDE itself and Devuan, both still awaiting an official release for 
Jessie.

I won't speculate on the systemd-related bug count in current mainstream 
Debian "Stable" because I no longer use it. They never supported TDE anyway.
