If this patch gets applied, would it also be possible to patch the Devuan compatibility bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900089
It's only a one line change and it would make it so the Devuan devs won't need to make their own package. Bugs 826994 and 900089 are the only two issues preventing the packages from working in Devuan.
