These are mostly CVE fixes, sometimes "no-dsa" in jessie.
Deferring something now and doing a DSA later sounds wrong to me,
IMHO a "stretch-ignore" would imply that the security team is OK
with having that unfixed during the lifetime of stretch.

firefox-esr uses gcc-5 on arm* (#852009), the changelog says:
* debian/control*, debian/rules: Compile with GCC 5 on testing/unstable
on arm* because of crashes when building with GCC 6. (FTBFS)
This is the hard part of the gcc-5 removal that was already requested
in #851871.
