I already use your repo for a mix between Devuan and yours. The only
remaining component missing is Judes vdev, to replace udev, in order to
throw out all systemd-related packages!

BTW: Why don't you commit to maintain some of the packages you are
already hosting in Devuan?

See above, the DNG mailing list is mostly full of discussions and not
much actions, except for from a few people. Please adopt a package!

This issue is still hindering me from fully maintain packages, a clear
TODO is needed, preferably somewhere on the Devuan website. I've started
writing one but it is just started. One problem how to create and pull
the pristine tar and other branches: For example policykit-1 (which I'm
one of the uploaders of) has all branches of stable:
#> git branch
* master
patch-queue/master
pristine-tar
upstream

while xfce4-session only has:
master
* patch-queue/master

Add to that all releases:
jessie (stable), ascii (testing) , ceres (unstable)
and the situation gets even more complicated.
