Hi,
Thanks for the email.
The beta versions (and even the later alpha versions) all require Qt
5.9.0+, but that is currently only available in experimental. Also,
the developers explicitly say please don't package alpha/beta versions
for Linux distributions, though they said that after I'd already
uploaded it, so it was a bit late. So once Qt 5.9.0+ hits unstable,
I'll package the current beta, and once anki becomes stable, I'll
allow it to migrate into testing.
But it will probably not be able to be packaged for the backports,
because of the versioned Qt dependency, unless Qt 5.9.x is also
packaged for the backports.
In the meantime, there are binary builds available from the website
which can be used on stretch machines.
Best wishes,
Julian
