After some digging I believe it comes from:
root@desktop0:~# apt-cache policy lsb-release
lsb-release:
  Installed: 4.1+devuan2
  Candidate: 4.1+devuan2
  Version table:
 *** 4.1+devuan2 500
        500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
root@desktop0:~# apt-cache policy
Package files:
 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     release a=now
 100 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports/main amd64 Packages
     release v=2.0.0,o=Devuan Backports,a=stable-backports,n=ascii-backports,l=Devuan Backports,c=main,b=amd64
     origin pkgmaster.devuan.org
 500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
     release v=2.0,o=Devuan,a=stable,n=ascii,l=Devuan,c=main,b=amd64
     origin pkgmaster.devuan.org

So I think it comes from :
root@desktop0:~# wget -qO- http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/{ascii,ascii-backports,ascii-security,ascii-updates}/Release|grep Version --color
Version: 2.0
Version: 2.0.0
Version: 2.0
Version: 2.0.0
