Markus, this package fails to build from source:

* In my 5 autobuilders.

* In one of the three tests made by Gregor.

* In several autobuilders from the reproducible builds effort:

As the failure has been verified from several independent parties, it
would not be unfair at all to say that, objectively, this package FTBFS.

Being able to build from source is a release goal since a lot of time
and deserves serious severity according to release policy:

https://release.debian.org/stretch/rc_policy.txt

which clearly says "Packages must autobuild".

So I ask you one more time that you respect release policy and
reconsider about this.

Thanks.
