It still does.

I think that would be possible, and I even brought it up in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=828608#25, but didn't
want to push it too hard before the dispute around the whole transition
settled.  Well, it ceased by now, but I can't find the conclusion, thus
my query... as https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=844018
seems stuck as well.
