Very interesting. So it looks like making a proper devuan package for
monotone would require taking the old source deb, replacing the code
with your code, and updating the various dependencies in the old
manifest to new ones.
Even without understanding much about debian packaging, that sounds
feasible.
Where do I find the relevant monotone repositories. (I very much want
to preserve history while doing this.)
Do the repositories also contain the code normally used to create deb
packages? I am no very familiar with the existing monotone code
infrastructure, nor with the processes required to submit an update to a
dropped Debian package.
And what kind of test procedures are there for vetting a monotone
release?

So would I. I might have some time to work on it once I have the
required data and permissions.
(And it would help if I got monotone to work through my modem's port
rerouting, but that's another thread on this mailing list)
