It will take some searching to find it again. In any case, now it works again, with one detail changed: instead of mounting external drives as /media/<user_name>/<custom_mount_point>/ -- now it has reverted to an earlier usage, namely just /media/<custom_mount_point>/ -- which is how I organized mount points in Kubuntu. When I changed from Kubuntu to Debian to Devuan, somewhere the <user_name> part got inserted, but only for external (USB) hard drives; for my 3 internal hard drives (besides sda1), everything remained the same throughout. While I did not intend to change anything in my setup, somehow this caused all kinds of confusion; so I suspect it has to do with the installation of pmount or udisks2, or maybe failure to install those packages. I will leave this to brighter minds to enlighten us, as it is a mystery to me, but I will be following this thread.
