Yes, instructions should be improved. I'm not involved at all in it;
just had a go at building (as in initial sanity check).

The Devuan xorg-server packaging project is a fork of Debian's
packaging project. Currently it's using Xorg 21.1.16 with a series of
patches, and in particular a patch to use seatd instead of
systemd-logind for device access mediation. That'd be a significant
but important patch to port onto Xlibre for using that as X11 source.

Ralph
