I am also using Devuan without problems.  Did you used

  touch /var/lib/elogind/USERNAME

to avoid elogin stealing the socket directory?

I have no idea.  I don't know whether this is of any help, but you can

  gpg-connect-agent 'getinfo std_session_env' /bye

to show the environment of a new session.  If you run that in the
context of PAM it might give a hint.  Or use debug-pinetry in
gpg-agent.conf which should also show the envars.


Shalom-Salam,
