The bts utility is part of the devscripts package (according to a quick
`apt-file search bin/bts`) and I cannot find any devscripts package with
`devuan` in its version on my laptop (`apt-cache policy devscripts`).

The only package in this area that I'm aware has been forked for Devuan
is reportbug but that claims that you can specify the BTS to report to
via the --bts or -B option.

So I think you can just use your Devuan system. If in doubt, just check
using apt-file and apt-cache like I did for any other utilities.

Hope this helps,
