Hi Andreas, Thanks for pointing this out. It is a surprise. I should have thought to check that.
If we look at the situation on plucky / debian unstable: $ sudo apt install nginx-common ... Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu plucky/main amd64 nginx-common all 1.26.3-2ubuntu1 [43.4 kB] ...

I can open a Debian bug.
