packages.devuan.org is run by Amprolla, and provides overlays over
existing package repositories. Forked packages that appear in the
devuan-packages group on git.do are present in devuan/pool/main. If
it's not forked, it comes from Debian mirrors instead, hence not from
packages.do.

Devuan only packages free software. The non-free archive comes from
Debian. Activate the non-free component, as you would in Debian, and
you should be set.
