Ok. I haven't uploaded yet (and I'm all done with my Debian time for
now) because I see these lintian issues that I don't think you have in
your version from unstable:

I: libssw changes: backports-changes-missing
W: libssw source: unknown-architecture any-x32
I: libssw0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssw.so.0

It's possibly due to the backports lintian version being slightly
outdated (2.5.44~bpo8+1 vs 2.5.45) but I haven't checked yet. Just
letting you know why I haven't uploaded.

Hmm. This package has had some interesting issues.
