I remember seeing package availability issues when I wanted to prepare
build-root for Devuan Chimaera. There were exclusively Devuan apt sources
and for me it seemed that there was some broken state of the merge process
of the Debian + Devuan packages on Devuan side. I didn't try to examine it
in more detail - I didn't want to waste time - and I put it off until
later.
