We are currently merging dmo - was mostly done as a test for amprolla. I
can ask nextime to remove that if it is causing breakages or other
problems.

As for locking to specific versions, that *is* what pinning is meant
for. Not merging dmo won't prevent an upgrade causing a broken debian
version to be pulled in instead.

We are NOT merging backports or updates or security updates. These will
all be handled as separate repositories. If you want backports (or
stable updates) you have to specify them in your /etc/apt/sources.list

We'll of course need to document this in our "getting started with
Devuan" guide which has yet to be written.
