The unofficial live iso that I made contains whatever software is in the
official beta release plus a few things that refractasnapshot needs to
work (squashfs-tools, xorriso, live-boot*, live-config* and syslinux). I
can't take credit for the package selection in that one. If the packages
you requested are not in it, it's up to the Devuan team to add them.

Those images can be found here -

If you'd like to be further confused, there are also some Refracta beta
releases based on devuan, and the full version is as bloated with software
as I could possibly make it and still fit on a CD. There's also a no-X
version, but I wouldn't call it "minimal".

The selection of software in the Refracta betas are my responsibility, and
the package list is based on choices that the team made on earlier (wheezy
and squeeze) releases. I will look at adding orca and the other packages
you mentioned to Refracta.
