Try removing packages.devuan.org: it shouldn't be necessary when you have
pkgmaster.devuan.org active. My output is:

libpython3.5-stdlib:
  Installed: 3.5.3-1
  Candidate: 3.5.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.5.3-1 500
        500 https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

You can add the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan-ascii-backports.list
with the following lines:

deb https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports main
deb-src http://backports.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports main

and then you run the command:

apt-get -t ascii-backports --just-print install libreoffice

and you get the list of the (many) packages you'd update or install to their
backports version to install libreoffice-1:6.0.4~rc1-4~bpo9+2 (they're 43 in
my system).
