In my opinion they should be as follows:
ascii-security: Debian stretch security updates, filtered so that if there is an
older Devuan package it cannot be installed.

ascii-updates: Remove, it serves no real purpose, or?

ascii-proposed-updates: Devuan packages, not yet migrated into ascii.
(similar to Debian packages in sid/unstable not yet merged into testing/buster.
They do migrate to testing after normally 5-10 days if no RC bugs, etc blocks
them)
