Hi, I would actually suggest to recompile surf using the deb-src in the repos. This is much cleaner, and results in a new .deb package that can be installed and removed safely. Actually, I have already put together a minimal howto on that (thanks to one of the Devuan users on our IRC channel, who tried the steps while I was writing down the material). I should put it somewhere, maybe on dev1galaxy? It's based on surf, but most of the material can be reused to compile other packages as well. I should just polish it a bit.
