Thanks for your upgrade report.

Reproduced. But this is an only temporary issue caused by a changed 
behaviour of autofs (Jessie: autofs is disabled adding 'exit 0' as last 
line to /etc/default/autofs; Stretch: autofs is disabled using 
systemctl). In both cases cfengine (cf.homes) is used to configure it. 
Everything will be ok after rebooting the system.

Unreproducible for me.
What do you exactly mean with 'breaking the cfengine run'?

We had an upgrade report earlier; see the first thread message: 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2017/06/msg00055.html

The issue reported by you didn't show up. So I suspect it to be 
site specific in your case.

IMO everything is ok. Just to be safe, 'service autofs stop' has been 
added to the upgrade instructions some days ago; see
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Stretch/Upgrades#Upgrading_the_main_server

After testing the Jessie -> Stretch upgrade now once again, this 
additional instruction appears to be superflous…
