This is a Devuan-specific issue. Debian is unaffected by this bug, but
may wish to adopt a modified version of the refactor present in the
first of the two patches I submitted to resolve this Devuan issue.
Adapting the refactor patch for Debian may not be worth it though as,
apart from simplifying the second patch in the series, the refactor
patch borders on splitting hairs. See the attached commit message for
details.
