The upstream must have changed the default backend which is not surprising, it should be fixable with a patch. I can look into it in a few days when I am back from vacation and in front of a computer again. The autotestpkg tests set KERAS_BACKEND=theano which is why this was missed. In the meantime users can set this environment variable similarly as a work-around. I don't really like changing upstream default behaviour but perhaps in this case it is warranted as an interim solution.
Regarding Tensorflow packaging I do not know, someone on debian-science mentioned difficulties with its build system. I do hope these are resolvable but it seems to be a big issue.
