o downloading so we can work on making it "perfect" once from a security standpoint rather than "so lala"¹ for each individual package manager. ¹ german for "okayish", but with a (stronger) hint of "would not hold its ground if someone would look closer".

rading perl) as the dependency on libcrack2 is already satisfied at the start of the upgrade (as its a version before jessie). As the dependencies of libcrack2 are very lightweight (just libc6 which is done at that point) it might already work if you artificially require a stretch-version here (= guess, not tested at all).
