Package: aptitude
Version:  0.8.13

Releases: beowulf and chimaera,

in the section aptitude preferences there is written
URL to use to download metadata
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs

That means meta data of devuan packages cannot be downloaded through 
this channel.
Thus aptitude cannot report changelogs from the devuan packages.

Please correct.
