If there were any, I haven't seen them. I've updated the Overview pages
on the Docker Hub for both devuan/devuan and devuan/migrated to mention
how one can fix the APT sources if absolutely necessary. I won't build
any kind of devuan/eol:ascii or devuan/archived:ascii images.

That said, if someone can't suppress the urge to add support for images
like that, pull requests are of course welcome.
# BTW, my preference is for devuan/archived in that case.

Hope this helps,
