You should use apt-mirror. It works seamlessly. pkgmaster does not
serve the package repo via public rsync.

We will probably put in place another machine to provide a secondary
mirror with public rsync access.

Nope. The best approach is to use ftpmirror or apt-mirror, specifying
Devuan's repo in the configuration. This work seamlessly, and will
give you a fully-functional local Devuan mirror.
