Subject: Re: [DNG] Question about the merged repos
About backports, I found some issues there

Specifically, I had devuan debootstrap installed and upgrading would result in getting a debian version

Also, not sure if it's the expected behaviour but when using the devuan backports repo a dist-upgrade would pull in packages from there too
