I've pinned this down to a change in the behaviour of logger(1) as used
by the postinst and filed bug 790875 against bsdutils.

We can always stop using logger or wrap calls to it somehow as a
workaround.

This bug does not affect anyone running a syslog daemon or systemd, so I
think it only affects piuparts testing and the non-default case. On this
basis would it be reasonable to drop the severity and stop blocking this
package from entering stretch?
