On the second comment on the forum thread you pointed to there's a
clear advice on what's supposed to be used to snap to vertex, that is
simply pressing Ctrl button *after* started moving the measure end
point.
In fact, this is not a Debian package issue but a desired behaviour in
Blender code.
Thus, closing.
Cheers.
