Suspect you may have mis-diagnosed this issue - the import comes from a
Django file.

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/template/loaders/filesystem.py", line 10, in <module>
    from django.template import Origin, TemplateDoesNotExist
ImportError: cannot import name Origin

If I run the above import by hand, with Django 1.9, it works:

(sid-amd64)root at prune:/home/brian# dpkg -l python-django

>>> from django.template import Origin, TemplateDoesNotExist

So I have to wonder if maybe something else is causing the import
failure, not anything to do with Django 1.9
