The archived Devuan jessie is available at archive.devuan.org/merged, with its Packages files referring to the likewise archived Debian packages at archive.debian.org/debian. E.g, you may have the following sources.list line: deb http://archive.devuan.org/merged jessie main for accessing the Devuan jessie packages, including the directly incorporated debian packages.
