I am not sure whether this has been filed as a bug in any affected 
package, but src:sqlite3 is not affected.

The problem is the amalgamation in other packages, for example:
https://sources.debian.net/src/firefox/49.0-4/db/sqlite3/src/sqlite3.c

Upstream documentation:
http://sqlite.org/howtocompile.html
"The use of the amalgamation is recommended for all applications."
"Recall that the SQLite amalgamation contains a lot of C-code that is 
 generated by auxiliary programs and scripts."
