Package: devuan-baseconf
Version: all
There is a syntax error in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05disable-suggests :
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05disable-suggests
APT:Install-Suggests "0";
Apt is not complaining about it but quoting 'man apt.conf':
>> [...] Option specification is given with a double colon
notation; for instance APT::Get::Assume-Yes is an option within the
APT tool group, for the Get tool. [...]
So the line sould be:
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
Moreover, "0" is the default value, so disabling 05disable-suggests:
# apt-config dump | grep -i -e 'sugg' -e 'recomm'
APT::Install-Recommends "1";
APT::Install-Suggests "0";

Message #10 received at 128@bugs.devuan.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Seeing that APT::Install-Suggests "false"; is the default to begin with,
it might be more prudent to simply remove 05disable-suggests from the
package.
As a matter of fact, I don't think this package is needed anymore now
that Jessie has been released. FWIW, I've purged it with no ill effects
(so far ;-).
