Thanks, I made this change and uploaded to unstable.

I would appreciate feedback whether or not this workaround fixed the 
problem for everyone. the package currently in unstable can be installed
on stretch.

If it is confirmed to work, I will prepare an update for the next
point release of stretch.

Thanks
Adrian
