There does not appear to be a "binary-all" subdirectory of debian-installer.

I cannot speak as to whether or not this is correct, only what is
currently showing.


I would speculate that you want something like

http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/excalibur/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz


Reference:

Index of /merged/dists/excalibur/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64
    Name    Last modified    Size    Description
    Parent Directory         -
    Packages.gz    2025-08-11 05:22    59K
    Packages.xz    2025-08-11 05:22    51K
    Release    2025-08-11 05:22    118
    by-hash/    2023-06-28 17:51    -


If your architecture is not amd64, substitute the one you need.

Hope this helps.
