Steve,
If a foreign distro has forked your original, then in our distro it
seems entirely reasonable for you as originator to restore the original.
If the foreign fork failed to identify itself as such, then it is not
your problem or ours when substituting the original reclaims the
original name. It is up to the fork to find a way to differentiate
itself. If our community wants to keep both, then I propose that the
debian package be renamed vimoutliner-debfork or similar.

That would seem to keep the ducks in a row, without the distasteful
problem of a fork masquerading as the original. It would also avoid
future list traffic asking "Why is the devuan VimOutliner package
backslash-borked??"
