FWIW, I know very little about Devuan package building, so I jumped
straight to compiling the github source for vdev, and installing from
it. After just a couple of tweaks of the runtime and initramfs
configurations, I've made a successful replacement on a pristine Devuan
1.0.0 install, with the 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel.

Of course I don't know anything about how complete it is in respect of
handling all sorts of devices.
