OK. Thanks for the analysis and explanation, it is now very clear to me. 
I will keep these replace statement for the moment and wait for after 
stretch and zesty are released to remove the reference to lib*4-dev.

If everything seems ok, would it be possible to sponsor and upload this 
new version (Mattia said he does not have enough bandwidth at the 
moment)? There is no emergency though, it is just to have this version, 
that has less bugs, in testing before the strech freeze.

Best regards,
