Hi Jeroen, I was looking at jq and if we could/shoudl support it more deeply. As part of that I was checking open bug and found this one. Probably not important for anyone else in the community since then nothing happened :-/
Also in terms of content, 1.5+dfsg-2 is quite some difference - I think you only really want(de) the code for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833213 In general adding new features and even more so new packages (which would happen in this case) is very rare on the SRU policy's [1] terms Also this is a package in universe and (due to being not watched by anyone, no-one chiming in and so on) is rather old (two LTS back) and unlikely to get such a change. IMHO upgrading to one of the two following LTS is (as of today) the by far better option. Therefore in terms of expectations I think it would be better to clearly mark this one Won't Fix.
