Bug#858251: qgis: no access to grass7 algorithms from toolbox

[Moritz Lennert]

Package: qgis
Version: 2.14.11+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

In QGIS 2.14.11 (but it seems this has been the case before), one cannot
launch any of the GRASS7 algorithms from the processing toolbox.

The issue is known and apparently corrected in Master: https://hub.qgis.org/issues/13072.

Would it be possible to cherry pick relevant parts of the fix to make it
work in 2.14 ? Especially since a release date for a new LTS version is
not fixed, yet ?
