Hi,
the templates should be add to:

Package: python-apt-common (2.2.1) 

I think it should be possible to add them directly to the original debian 
package as they do ship some templates for derivative distributions

/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Blankon.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Blankon.mirrors
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Debian.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Debian.mirrors
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Kali.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Kali.mirrors
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Tanglu.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Tanglu.mirrors
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/gNewSense.info
/usr/share/python-apt/templates/gNewSense.mirrors

Attached you will find some templates that were posted to dng@lists.dyne.org
by tempforever that allow software-properties-gtk  to run but there were concerns
about the correctness of the contents.
It would be best if the template files would be reviewed by the people
who is running the devuan repositories as they know best.

Ciao,
Tito
