Yes. Simply duplicate the lines you have and replace deb by deb-src.

VLC does not depend on dbus, why bother?
Note: It does depend on libdbus, though, which should be mostly
harmless. A case similar to packages depending on libsystemd0.

I can only speculate, but probably yes. A lot of Stuff™ depends
on dbus these days, so I imagine it would be even harder to create
a dbus-free Devuan flavor than just a systemd-free one.
