According to which principle should the Devuan rpi2 image work as
well, again? ;) There is an rpi3 image in the same place you have
found the rpi2.

The choice made by raspbian is sub-optimal: they basically provide an
image for the least common config that works on as many different rpi
models as possible. If you have an armv8, why should you run it as if
it were an armv7 or an armv6? o_O
