Hi Jan,

Thanks for reporting this issue. It seems the order of your upgrade is
different from piuparts which did not catch it.

Conflicts is not appropriate in this situation, Breaks/Replaces with a
version is (the file was moved in QGIS 2.6.0).

The fix has been commited in git and a new package revision will be
uploaded to experimental soon.

Because of the preparations for the stretch release this weekend, the
fix won't be able to get into stretch until the first point release.

Any QGIS users upgrading from jessie to stretch in the mean time are
recommended to remove the qgis package before the upgrade and reinstall
it afterwards.

Kind Regards,

Bas
