Thank you for your bug report. > Justification: renders package unusable > (...) > > Many Android 6+ smartphones are actually affected, > and users cannot mount them at all. While I agree that it is unfortunate that the current version of libmtp is outdated and does not support recent Android devices, I disagree about the stance that the package is "unusable". The package works fine "as is" and the fact that not all modern hardware is supported by a Debian stable release is expected. And since Debian testing is currently frozen, there is little to no chance that libmtp can be updated before the release. If you still want to try to get the package updated, it would be helpful if you could provide a debdiff with the changes between 1.1.12-1 and 1.1.13-1 of libmtp. You could then ask the release team for an exception to get libmtp updated before the Stretch release. In case updating libmtp before the Stretch release should not be possible, it will still be possible to provide an updated version of the library through strech-backports or in one of the Stretch point updates.
