Distributions for Devuan are in the repository as a simple symlink.
Therefore, a warning for an unexpected distribution name is displayed
because all files are identical to the equivalent Debian distribution.
In Preliminary Stable Builds repository, thanks to management by reprepro,
I could maintain separate 'dists' files for Debian and Devuan over the
same binary packages, however, in the official QuickBuild repository,
something like that would be challenging.
Therefore, I hope this warning about the name of the distribution is not
such a big problem.
Cheers

Your post reminds me of what seems to be a minor bug, when I update
apt, aptitude or synaptic I get error saying it was looking for ascii
but found stretch, simple fix is to change trinity repos to stretch,
but would be nice if the repos worked as ascii on a devuan ascii
install.
Thanks, My big concern is keeping both systemd and plasma
out of my computer
and I consider it a challenge seeing how trinity is probably being
developed on computers with systemd installed and particularly as
ubuntu has systemd locked-in. I'm willing to test development of
trinity if it's motivated by no-systemd and no-kde5-framework, as
kde3 was built is the best. Am I wrong in feeling most trinity
users feel the same way?
We're certainly no-systemd on principle and TDE seems to have done a
great job of avoiding assimilation by the systemd Borg. I have no
objection in principle to using some app from KDE 5 if we could make
it work in TDE but at this time there's nothing we need from KDE 5.
Devuan has been very helpful. However Quagga is essential for our
VPNs. Stretch Quagga was systemd-only but they recently restored SysV
compatibility in Buster Quagga and that version works fine in Stretch
/ Ascii without any need for backporting, and just in time for Jessie
EOL!
