The package from stretch cannot be installed under jessie right away because of dependency problems, it depends on libstdc++ > 5.2, while jessie has libstdc++ 4.92. The package does, however, build and install cleanly from source when built under jessie. It then depends on libstdc++ > 4.9 instead. So i guess 02.18 could be included in jessie-backports easily.
I came across this bug and can confirm that it does not occur with
02.16-1 from wheezy. It does also not occur with 02.18-1, taken from
stretch.
