Just for fun I whipped up a quick hack to allow Devuan as package origin,
to at least make accessible the changelogs of genuine Debian packages
which are retrieved via the merged Devuan repository lists, and of installed
genuine Devuan packages.

A decent patch however should introduce a configurable list of origins and
associated changelog URLs, as already mentioned in a todo comment in the
original source.

Cheers,
