I plan to upgrade wuiet to stretch during debconf, but not before. Note
anyway that going through stretch means waiting for the next point
release.

Probably not worth it from the w-b point of view, as we'll upgrade wuiet
to stretch anyway.

That also works and might be faster. It means we need to try to keep as
much as possible the interface unchanged to not get any breakage.

That's probably not a good idea, as it means the breakage will re-appear
when upgrading wuiet to stretch.
