Jessie is "archived" and available at archive.devuan.org, i.e. you
should use:

deb http://archive.devuan.org/merged jessie main

only that one; there are no jessie-updates or jessie-security.

The subsequent releases are at deb.devuan.org and include *-updates
and *-security. as well as having *-backports and *-proposed-updates
(although mostly empty I think)

See also https://www.devuan.org/os/packages for details.
