The current release 0.29-4 is also part of Stretch, with Jessie using 0.28-1. Also, freetype-config has been deprecated for many years, with pkg-config being the preferred method of obtaining CFLAGS and libs for several years now. In fact, freetype-config has been a wrapper for pkg-config since February 2017. FreeType has also had pkg-config support since version 2.1.5 was released in 2003, so pkg-config support is comfortably available everywhere. In addition, freetype-config(1) has recommended developers use pkg-config since March 2014. Hope that helps.
