My interest is in regards of the Devuan installer s/w, and (even
ignoring that github is microsoft) my goal is to find a maintainable
pre-packaged solution where the building of ISOs does not require any
deeper and more intimate knowledge about hotplugging and module
loading than for the average package development.

Though I suppose, given the difficulty of roping in people for it,
this ISO bulding s/w seems to be already a fair way away from average
package development skill/interest, and maybe an additional quirk with
some home-cooked hotplug handling won't change its future prospect.
