When launching software-properties-gtk via the command line, via "Xfce
Menu > Settings > Software & Updates" or via "synaptic > Settings >
Repositories", it crashes because it can't find a template for Devuan:
ERROR:root:Cannot import UbuntuDrivers: No module named 'UbuntuDrivers'

..and it works ok now. Seems like these files need to be added to
python-apt. I couldn't find the proper ChangelogURI though, but
otherwise it works.
Using Devuan 3/Beowulf.
