Looking at
https://salsa.debian.org/lxc-team/lxc-templates/-/tree/debian/unstable/templates,
Debian also has support for many other distros. Asking them to include Devuan
would seem to get the best coverage. 

Devuan doesn't fork lxc-templates. Even if we were to do so, only users of the
forked package would benefit from your suggested updates. If it is included in
Debian, then it will also benefit Debian itself and all derivatives.
