BIG WARNING here:

I used Nginx and associated things from dotdeb a few years ago because
Nginx on Debian stable was lacking pam authentication.

It worked like charm, but, for some unknown reasons, the break down of
software in packages is completely different: same parts of the software
are in packages with different names and packages with identical names
contain different parts of the software.

Be sure to not mix Devuan/Debian packages with Dotdeb, it would be the
begining of a nightmare; and beware of dist-upgrade. Before changing
distro in a year or so, don't forget to remove all Dotdeb packages.
