I (mistakenly) thought that the plan was to fix the package in Jessie at some point, so thanks for the update! Now, this makes me wonder: If there's any specific reason why we can't fix the package in Jessie (time? technical reasons?), perhaps we should remove the package from stable to avoid new users installing something we don't support anymore? And if indeed the package is not maintainable in current stable with the resources we have, then I would like to question its inclusion in the next stable release: why will we be able to support the package for 3-5 years in Stretch, while we apparently are not in a position to so for Jessie? (This is *not* a rhetorical question, I surely missed something.) Cheers!
