Perhaps not the best advice . . . Has this issue been fixed yet? If
not
you'll have to do the pinning manually.

I just pinned it manually. So it looks as if the issue has not been
fixed yet.
Or, at least, not for a system that was installed from alpha-2 and
continually
upgraded since.
It is a configuration file, and they sometimes don't upgrade without
manual
intervention.

Also . . . don't use debian backports repos in your sources list. Use
the devuan backports:
deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main contrib
non-free
