It has been packaged, and it works. (i.e. It works for me and a few
others. If more people try it, then it will work for more people.)

Here are vdev packages made by Ralph Ronnquist:
https://git.devuan.org/ralph.ronnquist/vdev/tree/master/release

Here are vdev packages made by Aitor:
http://packages.gnuinos.org/pool/main/v/vdev/

I should add that the two sets of packages are probably not compatible
with each other. Pick one.

Here's a live-CD iso I made with a sparse devuan install with openbox wm
and... vdev. I used Ralph's deb packages for this build, and I only made
an amd64 iso. It's already isohybrid, so you can dd or cat it to a usb stick.
