I can confirm that I had the same problem as Sydney and solved it by
simply rebuilding the sources from sid on the Jessie target system. I
did not observed any problem with this so backporting should be easy
(but I would not volunteer to do it for something I use *very* rarely
and do not feel competent enough).
