I'm one of those many and not just because I still have an odd Debian
machine running. I also keep getting them because I know that Devuan
will get most of its security upgrades straight from Debian anyway.

However, using a simple web search (using Duck Duck Go, if that matters)
I cannot seem to easily find anything on a Devuan website that clearly
spells this out. Perhaps that is something that can be improved? The
landing page lists

deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-security main

in the Packages section but there's no mention of how Devuan handles
security issues. A link to

https://devuan.org/os/security/

on the landing page as well as a blurb on that security page explaining
how things work would go a long way?

Personally, I have no problem with *not* getting duplicates of Debian's
DSAs. Then again, I also have no real problem with getting them ;-)
# Already get "duplicates" from Ubuntu as well :-/

What I'd definitely do like to see is Devuan Security Announcements for
the *forked* packages.

Hope this helps,
