I can confirm that auto.mirror.devuan.org (packages.devuan.org) updates
ahead of deb.devuan.org (pkgmaster.devuan.org) and that this has been
going on for some time, maybe a few months.

Sometimes it's days before pkgmaster catches up, and I'm not sure if it
ever catches up without help from one of the sysadmins.

Here's a current example - the latest firefox-esr is in jessie-security,
but only in auto.mirror.

# apt-cache policy firefox-esr
firefox-esr:
   Installed: 60.6.1esr-1~deb8u1
   Candidate: 60.6.2esr-1~deb8u1
   Version table:
      60.6.2esr-1~deb8u1 0
         500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security/main 
amd64 Packages
  *** 60.6.1esr-1~deb8u1 0
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
      52.8.1esr-1~deb8u1 0
         500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
         500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie/main amd64 Packages



FWIW, I also tried this using "pkgmaster" and "packages" instead of "deb"
and "auto.mirror" in sources.list and got the same result.
