Hi Henrik,

we have not forked devscripts officially (I have a version with
several patches, but it's not complete). The main reason is that some
of the scripts in devscripts rely on pieces of infrastructure that
differ between Debian and Devuan or are absent altogether in
Devuan.

I guess you should be fine by using devscripts to fix debian bugs. You
can also use the Devuan version of reportbug, either by setting the
"bts" variable in your reportbug config file, or by giving the "--bts
debian" argument to it.
