By all means, make sure it's the right solution.

We do small debian derivaties/rebuilds for some customers, this issue
breaks us rebuilding Jessie every time (iotw we have to patch it to
build jessie fully from source) (and rebuilding stretch as long as the
source pacakge sticks around). So it would be great to see it fixed.
