I also was not able to build a stretch-minimal template, only jessie-minimal. (I did not try to build any of the regular templates.) Notes: When updating jessie-minimal to unstable, you have to select the Qubes testing repository; the Qubes unstable repository does not exist. When you update, be careful with apt-get dist-upgrade; it will remove qubes-gui-agent, among others. I don't know if apt-get upgrade will result in a full upgrade to debian unstable, but at least it will not remove any of the essential qubes packages. There are detailed instructions for building an Archlinux template: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/building-archlinux-template/ . Follow them, replacing Arch with Debian. Do the building in a fedora-23 template. I can personally confirm that using a fedora-24-minimal or fedora-25-minimal template causes a lot of problems. If I had done it like that from the beginning, I probably could have followed Unman's instructions without problem.
