fwiw, i don't think this is a problem in the enigmail source package
itself, but rather it's drawn from what's available in
mozilla-devscripts during package build.

it's possible that a binary-only rebuild would resolve the explicit
dependency, but a better approach might be to try to put 1.9.7-2
directly into jessie.
