Attached is a quick fix for #851803 This is the quickest way to restore behaviour which was being used before the update of /etc/debian_version ready for Stretch's release.
In the future, it'd be better to use --with-locfile=debian and adjust the rules and install files to match the debian locations instead. But this shouldn't be done until Stretch is out.
