The latter failed for me (at my workplace as well as at home) with 302 "Moved Temporarily" errors for pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/, so the debs had to be downloaded manually.

No Florian, there is no "not-redirecting" repository in Devuan. Any
Devuan repo will redirect to the corresponding Debian repo for all the
packages that have not been forked by Debian, so you can't set
AllowRedirect to false.

The safest way is to manually download apt from the Debian pool, as
explained in the email I forwarded. Or, if you trust Devuan, to use
pkgmaster.devuan.org in your sources.list (that one is the master
Devuan repo, and is on a machine to which only a reduced number of
core developers have access), do the update, and then put back
deb.devuan.org.
