Hans,

Thanks for this. However, as you correctly note, this is a bug in Debian

Since Devuan uses the Debian package directly without recompilation, the issue
needs to be fixed in there. Sadly it was reported a while ago with no
action[1]. I suggest you add your voice there to get the upstream fix packaged.

Mark
