Well, that's a bit premature. And possibly over-sensitive . . .

1] Not so, sherlock. Better to ask me: Did you Boruch pin that manually?
No, Enzo, I did no such thing.

1.1] But Boruch, did you double-check? Yes, Enzo, I did, and there is
something curious, in that I don't see anywhere in /etc/apt anything
being pinned explicitly to value 990. Where else should I look?

2] Isn't it a legitimate devuan package from a legitimate currently
supported devuan repository?

3] Isn't it doing something quite unacceptable that it should never have
been doing in the first place?

4] Sholdn't it be fixed, or removed, and / or have users pointed to an
upgrade path?
