I guess by 'really necessary' you mean 'helps debugging', which isn't the
same.
This bug is jessie-ignore precisely because we want to avoid accepting
complicated changes for jessie to fix it.

This also looks like something for stretch.

As the libc issue with the static binary seems to be fixed in the libc version
in both jessie and sid, the only remaining issue is the missing build-using,
which can wait till after jessie.
Could you do a new upload with only the security fix?
