Is that server-side or client-side? I hope the latter as I believe that
reportbug can be made to look at the package's version to decide which
of the Devuan and Debian BTSs should be targetted.

I've tested this in #420 but, as noted there too, there are a lot of
other references to debian.org that may need to be updated as well for
full integration. While desirable, I don't think that's a priority
though.

Looking through debian-bugs.el, I noticed that debian-bug-prefill-report
throws out the mail headers generated by reportbug :-o
The mail headers generated by reportbug already use the Devuan addresses
so it may be better to defer to those if available. That's not really a
Devuan-specific issue though.

Hope this helps,
