Okay, so maybe we're making a little progress. Here is what I get:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of apt:
tasksel depends on apt.
reportbug depends on apt.
python3-reportbug depends on apt.
apt-listchanges depends on apt (>= 0.5.3).
apt-file depends on apt.
dpkg: error processing package apt (--remove):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
apt
My mistake. I should have supplied a force flag:
dpkg --force-depends --remove apt:amd64
dpkg -i apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd64.deb

Again, I save all my packages, but tasksel is kept in
another folder. Maybe
I need to do a bit of rearranging, or making a symlink (so that tasksel is
included when I install apt). But later on that.
This is not needed. We won't (I hope) be removing tasksel and friends.
