if patch for Debian package then patch file with Devuan specific fix to become Devuan's package
(e.g. cryptsetup-initramfs : /usr/share/cryptsetup/initramfs/bin/cryptroot-unlock Debian's file matches sha256 then patch )
else figure out what changed and make a new patch for Devuan's package containing this file

# Problem:
# If /cryptroot/crypttab is older than /proc/1,
# cryptdisks-unlock aborts with the message "Try again later".
# /scripts/init-top/cryptroot is expected to update the timestamp of /cryptroot/crypttab,
# but there is no such script on my target machine.
# /cryptroot/crypttab is already present in the busybox.
#
# Workaround:
# Install a modified /usr/local/bin/cryptdisks-unlock script which does not check the timestamps
