Possibility to release the software graphically.

Echedey,

Thanks for this. Stterm is not a forked package in Devuan and we use Debian's
packages directly without recompilation. Please redirect these requests to
Debian's BTS.

Thanks.

Thank you for the quick reply.

How may I redirect the bug to Debian BTS through the reportbug package
in Devuan?

I made the report through it to make it and I am not sure if the
configuration for reporting just to Devuan is set as the only option,
making me having to report this to Debian manually, or if there is a
specific option to choose Debian BTS to report it.
