Ahhh, right - I remember that Tatiana had to do some heavy patching.

That was also done by Tatiana.

However, a backport does not really close a bug in stretch and the issue
is also not really a security issue, right?

This is indeed not a security issue, but package is unusable. Backport would at least make software available.

I don't know know what is usual debian policy regarding this use case. I suppose it occured multiple times.

I can't be sure that sid version is really working, it just does not show any error. Could tatiana do some 'real' testing?

Do you want to discuss this with the release team?

Kind regards
