Still broken after the stretch release. Maybe this time just fix it
although it is already released (right now there is nothing in it yet
anyway)?
As a workaround if someone wants to pin:
Pin: release o=Debian Backports,a=stable-backports
They should pin instead or additionally:
Pin: release o=Debian Backports,n=stretch-backports
Or (if you don't mix oldstable / stable backports sources):
Pin: release o=Debian Backports
Pinning a=stretch-backports ("a=" instead of "n="!) might work now, but
breaks if this bug gets fixed.
cheers,
