Definitely not breaking the build.

And given it's an addon, seemingly for network rendering, I don't think
this qualifies as a serious bug. That doesn't mean fixing it for jessie
would be rejected outright.

(A quick web search seems to point out it's diabled by default, see
Instructions on: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Performance/Netrender)
