The idea with naming the package 3.2.2-8+devuan2 was to indicate that it is a
package aimed for ASCII. Note, I did not add an Y in the naming. Maybe a simpler
naming would be 3.2.2-8+d2?

In my opinion it is nice to know which distribution a package is aimed for.
However, I'll do the renaming as we decide on.

What about the native package udev? Currently it is 3.2.2+devuan2.10. Note that
Debian don't like a -<version> added to a native package.
