Thanks for the reply. :-)


It looks like Stretch has the port based on 10.3~svn296373-6 and I need 
the port based on 10.3~svn296373-7 (?):

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=freebsd-buildutils&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all


I do not see a backport:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=freebsd-buildutils&searchon=names&section=all&suite=stretch-backports


Do I build from source?  If so, is there a good tutorial?
