Thank you, great - two flawless upgrades, once again!

Also the suggested migration to pipewire-audio appears to have been a good move - at least after having created the following file to auto-start the subsystem:

florian@nulldevice:~$ cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90pipewire-audio 
# kill any existing pipewire instance
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1

exec /usr/bin/pipewire &

# wait for pipewire to start
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done

exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &
exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

NB, as gimp 3 still seems not to provide an xsane plug-in: https://yingtongli.me/git/gimp-xsanecli works perfectly fine "for me" (resp. my 'lide 20' USB scanner) - I am tempted to say: better than ever!

florian@nulldevice:~$ head -n1 /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst]/ ascii main non-free

florian@nulldevice:~$ ssh nullmobil head -n1 /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb cdrom:[devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_netinst]/ ascii main non-free
