Can't find libfuse2 on devuan/feria

This package is needed by a dozen of my AppImages to work properly. They refuse to open without this package.
running sudo apt search libfuse returns this:

golang-github-hanwen-go-fuse-dev/testing 2.8.0-1 all
  Native Go bindings for the FUSE kernel module

libfuse3-4/testing,now 3.18.2-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  Filesystem in Userspace (library) (3.x version)

libfuse3-dev/testing 3.18.2-1 amd64
  Filesystem in Userspace (development) (3.x version)

python3-pyfuse3/testing 3.4.0-3+b4 amd64
  Python 3 bindings for libfuse 3 with asynchronous API

python3-pyfuse3-doc/testing 3.4.0-3 all
  Python 3 bindings for libfuse 3 with asynchronous API (documentation)

How can I install this library on my system?

Re: Can't find libfuse2 on devuan/feria

My first reaction was: that lib is outdated.

Then I had a look at my Excalibur. There I got listed libfuse2/now 2.9.9-6+b1 amd64 which is installed locally, and libfuse2t64/stable 2.9.9-9 amd64 which isn't installed. Haven't digged any deeper. Don't know why/how libfuse2 was installed, can't remember any special operation.

libfuse2 is from bookworm, libfuse2t64 is from Trixie, there is nothing in Forky/Freia.

You could try libfuse2t64. But I think you need to download it from Trixie/Excalibur and then install it locally. Same is vald for libfuse2 from Bootkworm/Daedalus.

Update: some search revealed that libfuse2 was installed because of Veracrypt.
