Yes, you need to install libcdk5nc6, libvte-2.91-0 and
libvte-2.91-common. The packages missing in devuan are here:

I'm not a devuan caretaker, but, as far as I know, devuan just removes systemd dependency from debian.
About including simple-netaid in debian repo..., I don't know the way to go.

The client is managed internally by ifupdown:
