As I said, simply adding --no-guess-python to ORPHANOPTS does take care of the
immediate problem of wanting to delete deluge, but in exchange, it opens up a
potential can of worms when there is a python package that is indeed an orphan,
which would then not be deleted by upgrade-system.
So,

Right, so in that case, there is no bug in upgrade-system.
The backend 'deborphan --guess-all' simply makes broad assumptions
about what is superflous libraries and, for some reason, it considers
python-cffi-backend as superflous as explained in bug #918755.
In your case, the solution indeed is
It looks like the problem is in deborphan. /etc/upgrade-system.conf has
ORPHANOPTS="--guess-all --libdevel"
and something about that combination leads deborphan to decide it doesn't need
the package "python-cffi-backend", which is a lineal dependent of deborphan.
