Hi Andreas,
Thanks for filing this issue. I have cloned a copy of it to the
release-notes as it is too late to fix in jessie before the stretch release.

It would be great if this could be fixed in stretch for r0. Else, we
will need the same cave in the release-notes for stretch -> buster as well.
Beyond that, what are the work arounds for this?
* Remove dblatex, upgrade and then install it again?
* [After the fix in jessie] Upgrade to latest jessie point release
and then upgrade to stretch.
* Any other?
Thanks,
~Niels
