I'm afraid it isn't; it looks like the terminus version is more or less 
bound to PuppetDB's version, so it's probably not a good idea to ship it 
in the Puppet source. So, we'll go the regular way and backport PuppetDB 
to jessie, possibly with a patch to make the terminus compatible with 
Puppet 3.7. I expect this to be done by mid-May if all goes well!

Cheers,
Apollon
