Hi,

I would actually suggest to recompile surf using the deb-src in the
repos. This is much cleaner, and results in a new .deb package that
can be installed and removed safely.

Actually, I have already put together a minimal howto on that (thanks
to one of the Devuan users on our IRC channel, who tried the steps
while I was writing down the material). I should put it somewhere,
maybe on dev1galaxy? It's based on surf, but most of the material can
be reused to compile other packages as well. I should just polish it a
bit.
