if you are not using the 6.6.3+devuan1.3 version, then it's not a
package in a legitimate currently supported devuna repository.

I have said alredy that you must use reportbug-6.6.3+devuan1.3 in
jessie. The other version you are mentioning was removed from Devuan
before RC1 came out.

And I am convinced that you must still have a pin somewhere in
/etc/apt/preferences.d, because 990 is not a default pin level
anywhere in devuan. This is what I get on ascii:

# apt-cache policy reportbug
reportbug:
  Installed: 7.1.6+devuan2.1
  Candidate: 7.1.6+devuan2.1
    Version table:
       *** 7.1.6+devuan2.1 500
               500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 
Packages
               500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main i386 Packages
               500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages
               500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main i386 Packages
               100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
# ls /etc/apt/preferences.d/
avoid-systemd
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/avoid-systemd
Package: systemd-sysv
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1
#

and I keep avoid-systemd only for romatic reasons, since it is not
needed any more since jessie beta (May 2016).
