Thanks for forwarding it. Such issues are not detected by just having
the package installed and using it occasionally. But triggering a
reinstallation showed it here, too.

Thanks for the patch. I'll do an QA upload soon.

Yes, I understand. Point is that when I did the first QA upload there
were (seemingly dead) ITA-traces in the Git master brnach and I didn't
want to throw them away, so for the last RC-fix (back then for
Jessie), I branched off a branch named "jessie" based on the lasted
upload to Unstable. I now did the same for Stretch: Created a branch
"stretch" based on the branch "jessie". As soon as I've uploaded
apt-build, I'll merge back my changes into the "master" branch.
