After further investigation, the missing package is in Debian 9 (Stretch)
Contrib:
https://pkgs.org/download/nvidia-installer-cleanup
I tried adding 'contrib' to the end of sources, which worked for 'non-free,'
but doesn't seem to work for contrib.
So... What is the corresponding Devuan repository for Debian Contrib?
If there isn't one, what are the issues with installing the .deb
(nvidia-installer-cleanup_20151021+4_amd64.deb) from the above link?
Thanks,
Michael
