As I've since commented in that bug, this is incorrect. There was no
change to the dns-root-data package in stable since October.
I also don't understand what rationale is being used to justify the
severity of the bug.

2017072601~deb9u1 is the current version of dns-root-data in stretch,
and has been since the 9.2 point release nearly 9 months ago.
As for jessie, it is no longer managed by the Release Team, so if you
wish to update dnsmasq there you'll need to talk to the LTS team.
Based on the above, is there any actual requirement for the dnsmasq
update in stretch?
