It is not clear at all what you want to "establish" here.

The officially announced means of accessing Devuan repositories are
explained at www.devuan.org. The repositories are signed with the
signatures available in the package devuan-keyring. The fact that the
onion address points to a server or another is irrelevant. You have to
trust the signatures on the Release files, and this is done
automatically by apt. Alternatively, you can download the pubkeys,
download the InRelease files, and verify them by hand.

You don't seem to have any specific technical issue to point out, only
rants to vomit. And your preference for writing long emails do not
help identifying the technical content (if any) which you are
referring to.

You have not yet provided a technical description of the kind of
breakage you have experienced, if any.

Please be specific, and we will try to help you.
