Unfortunately a recent change actually brought a new dependency, and so
the build fails:

| pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'piexif>=1.0.3' distribution was not 
found and is required by Nikola

The piexif package isn't packaged in Debian. If I understand correctly -
I'm not into Python -, https://bugs.debian.org/844441 is about it, but
the deadline for an upload passed more than two weeks ago. So I guess
that's it for stretch :-/

Only thing that still could save the show was to disable the code that
uses this library, then do a fresh upload. Probably even more ugly than
it sounds.
