I have found two browser-related devuan packages that have surf in

surf
netsurf
Is either of them relted to the surf you are documenting?
Hi Hendrik,
you should use the package "surf". The default version in jessie is
0.6, but I would warmly suggest you to get the 0.7, e.g. from
jessie-backports.
Just noticed
surf --version
doesn't work.
But aptitude indeed does tell me I'm using 0.6.
Looking at backports. Now have surf 0.7.
With the backports lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, will everything
automatically
get upgraded to the backports version if I do
aptitude update
aptitude upgrade
? I don't see anything in /etc/apt to stop this. I'd like to be able
to have some
control over which packages I get from backports.
Or am I better off from a security perspective to always get backports
updates for
everything?

Hendrik,
When you use backports all packages in backports are de-activated.
You have to explicitly install the package you want.
sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install "package"
So don't be afraid to add
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian [4] jessie-backports main
into your sources.list
and have a look at
https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ [5]
to set your mind at rest.

Perhaps not the best advice . . . Has this issue been fixed yet? If
not you'll have to do the pinning manually.
