Who is a python guy?

parse_apt_policy executes 'apt-cache policy' and parses
(parse_policy_line) the output for lines beginning with release matching
o=Devuan and c=main

longnames = {'v' : 'version', 'o': 'origin', 'a': 'suite', 'c' :
'component', 'l': 'label'}

In my case that is

 500 http://se.deb.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
     release v=2.0,o=Devuan,a=stable,n=ascii,l=Devuan,c=main,b=amd64
     origin se.deb.devuan.org
