Repeatedly I found security.debian.org to be several days ahead of
Devuan's security repos, which (according to 'apt-cache policy') at the
moment provides firefox-esr version 68.6.1 for beowulf.

When adding security.debian.org to the sources list, it could make
sense to have pinning rules like the following in /etc/apt/preferences
to prevent unwanted modifications: 

    Package: systemd-sysv
    Pin: release o=*
    Pin-Priority: -1

    Package: systemd
    Pin: release o=*
    Pin-Priority: -1

Regarding the "proposed-updates" mechanism, the _Debian_ documentation
states: 

    "It should be noted that packages from security.debian.org
    are copied into the p-u-new (o-p-u-new) directory
    automatically. At the same time, packages that are uploaded
    directly to proposed-updates (oldstable-proposed-updates) are
    not monitored by the Debian security team." [1]
