Hi David, please fix this for jessie, too.
Rebuilding the sid package with an additional changelog stanza versioned 7.20160107~deb8u1 and targetting jessie should work fine. The next jessie point release is scheduled for January 23rd, if you file the jessie-pu request quickly you should be able to get the fix in there (request, approval, upload will have to happen within the next week to hit the window). Thanks! Andreas
