A friend and mentor in all things Linux was a proponent of Devuan.
Sadly he died some months ago so I now have to ask those I don't know
possibly stupid questions.
I have run Debian systems for some 15 to 18 years (can't remember when
I switched from Fedora Core but a long time ago). Ha

Hello,
I've got a question about how to split a library package so it works well
with multiarch.
The source package in question is libsysdev.
When properly configured, it installs roughly the following files:
/usr/lib/*/libsysdev.so.0.0 (and symlinks)
/usr/lib/*/libsysdev.a
/usr/lib/*/p

About backports, I found some issues there
Specifically, I had devuan debootstrap installed and upgrading would result in
getting a debian version
Also, not sure if it's the expected behaviour but when using the devuan
backports repo a dist-upgrade would pull in packages from there too

That would be an environment variable. It has to be written into a file sourced
by your DM, each has their own standard. For KDE/sddm, you can look into
/etc/sddm/Xsession to see which file correspond to your system (it's different
whether you use bash or zsh or whatever else).

Good day everyone,
I observed this behaviour of "mkdir" under /usr/local/:

$ ls -l -d share/doc/subversion-book-en

The same happens in a root shell. I rather expected to get this:
