If I can add my two cents to the discussion, it is true that we should
think about the best strategy in terms of package (re)naming for
Devuan, but it is also true that, at least initially, most of us will
probably have to use both Devuan and Debian apt-sources. Consequently,
if there is a way of avoiding trashing a working distro too easily by
picking the wrong package (or package name), then I would suggest to
go for it. I personally like the "+devuan" workaround, especially
because the only way I see at the moment for Devuan to have non-null
probabilities of surviving is by making advantage of the Debian corpus
of packages, keeping branches and changes to a minimum....
