Thanks for this. I have had a quick look at debsecan and it is very much tied to
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/. Devuan doesn't provide an
equivalent service at the moment. Until we do, there is not much we can do. In
most cases, the Debian security information is still relevant to Devuan.
