Oops, that's what you get when amateurs dabble around.
Thanks for filling in my incomplete knowledge!
Ok, let's try again:
1) enter a jessie cowbuilder chroot
2) rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/15pbuilder
3) apt-get install task-gnome-desktop
3a) sed -i -e 's/interest /interest-noawait /'
/var/lib/dpkg/info/{desktop-file-utils,shared-mime-info}.triggers
3b) sed -i -e 's;desktop-file-utils;desktop-file-utils/noawait;' -e
's;shared-mime-info;shared-mime-info/noawait;' /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
4) sed -i -e 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
5) apt-get update
6) apt-get upgrade
6a) sed -i -e 's/interest /interest-noawait /'
/var/lib/dpkg/info/{desktop-file-utils,shared-mime-info}.triggers
6b) sed -i -e 's;desktop-file-utils;desktop-file-utils/noawait;' -e
's;shared-mime-info;shared-mime-info/noawait;' /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
7) apt-get dist-upgrade

It might well be that I again did something wrong. OTOH, this seems to
match what anbe wrote of his similar tests some minutes ago.
(Disclaimer:
I don't think this is any help for the imminent release, I was just
curious about this trigger issue and thought I'd try it out.
And since, according to his last mail, KiBi's "fix" on the java side
seems to allow for a working upgrade, there's probably also no
urgency to dig deeper into this trigger puzzle.)
Cheers,
