Aha - I wasn't aware of *that* Devuan-specific possibility, however I was
basically confirming that the logfile entries which the OP was unhappy about
occur on Debian too (provided someone or something installed brltty).

I'm not quite sure why brltty should be a recommendation for "console
productivity", but the underlying problem would seem to be the logfile entries
rather than the installation of the package, I think.

I'm happy to have packages installed on my machine which are (currently) non-
functional due to the required hardware not being plugged in, but I wouldn't
want them constantly complaining about it.
