I switched over from transfig to fig2dev with version 1:3.2.6~beta-1,
it was never intended that someone builds a transfig
1:3.2.6a-2~deb8u1.  If someone needs a 3.2.6a backport in jessie, the
package should have been renamed as I did (transfig becoming a
transitional package after 1:3.2.6~beta-1).

Anyway this went wrong in jessie-elts and has to be solved in
stretch-elts now, I suppose.

Since it isn't an issue in buster/bullseye/bookworm I mark these
versions fixed to avoid confusion in the release team.
