On the basis of decades of experience, I deny the premise.

I'm minutely familiar with this fact.

Fortunately for Devuan admins, they can either hotfix Unbound or use any
of several other commodity recursive-only DNS nameservers, all of which
I catalogue at http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html .

Nota bene: I accept zero responsibility for ensuring that any or all of
those recursive-only nameservers is binary-packaged for the current,
past, or future releases of Devuan. I note in passing the fact that, if
necessary, "./configure; make; make install" is not broken.

Case in point.

_Second_ case in point.

Whatever works for you. But local packages/compiles are also a thing.

As the guy who wasted a metric lot of time futilely hating me on the
Internet, Prof. Daniel J. Bernstein, memorably observed: "This is
Unix. Stop acting so helpless."
