There is an interesting bug here but I could not figure it out myself,
and upstream couldn't reproduce it in their own build/test environments
(which includes Mac OS but not actually kfreebsd or hurd).

In the meantime, I believe I *could* build cmake on the porterboxes,
perhaps with DEB_BUILD_OPTS=nocheck and nmu those binaries.  It doesn't
fix the bug, would come back again with the next build, but it should
fix *many* reverse-deps that are FTBFS or BD-Uninstallable waiting for a
newer cmake.

Since kfreebsd is anyway not a release architecture for stretch I don't
see a strong argument against doing this?  (hurd has already done this).
