I'd kindly ask you to consider a fix for BTS #863890 for the next
jessie point release:

It has been reported that jessie-stretch dist-upgrades abort because
of the dblatex postrm script failing: it calls texlive-binaries
command mktexlsr which is unavailable at this very moment.

The fix is simple, but needs to be applied to the jessie version of
dblatex.  BTW, is there a final jessie point release planned to fix
such dist-upgrade problems?  This would help as users are expected to
upgrade to the latest jessie point release before upgrading to
stretch:
https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#system-status

Thanks for your feedback on this, Andreas

fixed before the release in dblatex 0.3.9-3 in stretch (via sid), no
further action needed
