Is their any complaints about the pgp "signature". Given my heavy
involvement on Devuan's d-i package that's where I'd be looking. Make
sure that your correctly installing devuan-keyring and that the default
keyring used points to the devuan keyring and not debians. I had a hell
of a time figuring that one out for debian-installer.
