There's not really anything to yank out. Don't have a non-free repo

gnuinos already does this.
You already have a repository available for this task:
deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename> main
deb-src http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename> main
deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename>-updates main
deb-src http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename>-updates main
deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename>-security main
deb-src http://packages.gnuinos.org/merged <codename>-security main
being <codename> jessie, ascii or beowulf. Just add the gpg key of
gnuinos:
|$ curl -L https://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos_pk.asc | sudo apt-key
add -|
|and update the repository.|

If devuan ever provides a free/libre repo and release, it will be in
addition to the one that provides non-free firmware for the same
reasons you state below. This is something that's been discussed at
meetings several times, and I think we're all in agreement.
On the other hand, the official kernel of debian has been removed from
the repository of gnuinos and replaced by linux-libre.
If you want to build your own repository, you will need to patch both
reprepro and amprolla in order to use them together (in the concrete
case of gnuinos, because you can find also your own way).
Cheers,
Aitor.
Textual words:
[...] Release four distinct versions of gNewSense, including a
distribution that includes a subset
of packages for a focused user experience, one that is essentially
vanilla Debian with our
freedom improvements, a developer edition with the latest and greatest
GNU development tools,
and a server edition that is based on the work of the Devuan community
