I'd kindly ask you to consider a fix for BTS #863890 for the next
jessie point release:
It has been reported that jessie-stretch dist-upgrades abort because
of the dblatex postrm script failing: it calls texlive-binaries
command mktexlsr which is unavailable at this very moment.
The fix is simple, but needs to be applied to the jessie version of
dblatex. BTW, is there a final jessie point release planned to fix
such dist-upgrade problems? This would help as users are expected to
upgrade to the latest jessie point release before upgrading to
stretch:

Thanks for your feedback on this, Andreas

+ when dist-upgrading from jessie to stretch due to the command being
+ temporarily unavailable when dblatex postrm is called.
+ + It is superfluous: mktexlsr gets called via a trigger anyway.
