Thanks for this. In Devuan, backuppc is not forked and we use Debian's packages
directly without recompilation.

This issue has already been reported to Debian's BTS[1] and is fixed in version
4.4.0-4.

If you think the fix needs backporting to stable, you will need to make a
request on the Debian BTS.

Thanks.

Mark
