Well originally we were basing off debian-stable but we got caught out
by the new release. With this series we have most things off the latest
stable (Debian 9 - aka Stretch) but one or two builds are based of old
stable (Debian 8 - aka Jessie) and using the embedian hacks we had
before.

I think for this it's mostly a matter of clarity.
