Many thanks! Note that if you want to see this in Stretch because of the looming freeze deadline, this has to be done until Jan 25th. (I could live with this going into either Stretch or the Debian release following that, so no pressure if you don't get to it until then, just wanted to make you aware of the deadline.)
