It's likely we'll release 8.9 & 9.1 during the same week-end. So maybe
you could include this change right away? It would only be an annoyance
for people fetching the updated package “in advance” from the
jessie-proposed-updates suite? But then, we don't have stretch support
at all right now, so that's not even a regression.

(Just to be clear: I was really enjoying seeing tests get added.)
