So, you are using auto.mirror.devuan.org. I did use deb.devuan.org,
according to https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

"IMPORTANT NOTE: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be
decomissioned. Please make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring
package with apt-get install devuan-keyring and then point
your /etc/apt/sources.list to deb.devuan.org."


Indeed, when I change the sources.list to auto.mirror.devuan.org, I got
updates.

So I guess, the documentation at
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list is wrong?

   As you can see from the above, you were missing the jessie-updates
repository.



That doesn't make any diffenrence, since jessie-updates is for
fast-changing packages and doesn't receive any updates any more.

I can confirm that auto.mirror.devuan.org (packages.devuan.org) updates ahead of deb.devuan.org (pkgmaster.devuan.org) and that this has been going on for some time, maybe a few months.

Sometimes it's days before pkgmaster catches up, and I'm not sure if it ever catches up without help from one of the sysadmins.

Here's a current example - the latest firefox-esr is in jessie-security, but only in auto.mirror.

# apt-cache policy firefox-esr
firefox-esr:
  Installed: 60.6.1esr-1~deb8u1
  Candidate: 60.6.2esr-1~deb8u1
  Version table:
     60.6.2esr-1~deb8u1 0
500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security/main amd64 Packages
 *** 60.6.1esr-1~deb8u1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     52.8.1esr-1~deb8u1 0
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie/main amd64 Packages


FWIW, I also tried this using "pkgmaster" and "packages" instead of "deb" and "auto.mirror" in sources.list and got the same result.
