This was discussed in the thread "devuan-baseconf package versions
and repositories" started by Vicente on 11/12/15 to which Jaromil
responded. I was having a little problem following his answer, so
hopefully I'm not quoting this out of context:

"the progression you show is mostly following the setup and testing done
in development phase of all three release series, one by one, ..."

I believe Aitor's interpretation is correct. You may want to check the
thread yourself.
