Let me see if I understand you correctly. the package firmware-iwlwifi is not open software, and so is not available from the devuan package archive. So a) The sources.list line deb http://packages.devuan.org/merged jessie main non-free contrib should not have non-free appended because devuan does not support non-free packages. b) The only way to get firmware-iwlwifi, an essential package I cannot do without, is to get it as I did from the Debian mirror, but I'm "on my own" because Devuan does not support it. c) The same for task-mail-server, which apparently has some non-free drivers. Is this why it is absent? I had to install the obvious applications such as exim4, procmail, mutt, spamassassin, individually.
