I know it doesn't exist, but what I don't know is how to configure the
script so that it doesn't try to download something that doesn't exist. And
it's not just Debian-Installer, the script also tries to download:

http://deb.devuan.org/merged//dists/excalibur/main/debian-installer/binary-all/Packages.gz
http://deb.devuan.org/merged//dists/excalibur/main/binary-all/Packages.gz
http://deb.devuan.org/merged//dists/excalibur/contrib/binary-all/Packages.gz
http://deb.devuan.org/merged//dists/excalibur/non-free/binary-all/Packages.gz

But those packages don't exist in Excalibur, and I don't know why it tries
to download a file that doesn't exist.
Best Regards
