Yes, just had a quick look. It is a good start, although there are quite a few
things that need attention. I really recommend you follow the packaging guide:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/maintainers/PackagingGuide.md
If you work through that, you will fix most of the packaging things. For
example:

- branch should be suites/unstable
- Need changelog with correct version and details of changes
- need d/gbp.conf with correct branch
- d/control needs correct Vcs-* fields and Origin: Devuan

In terms of the patches, we also need a fix for #428. I posted one in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950986#26, but you may prefer
something else.

However, it is currently a native package, so the patches can go directly in the
tree, you don't need to use quilt patches in d/patches. Again that is in the PackagingGuide.

What timezone are you? I will be on #devuan-dev most of tomorrow to help with
details.

Thanks for you work so far.
