Bug#896295: Tensorflow is missing

[Stephen Sinclair]

The upstream must have changed the default backend which is not surprising,
it should be fixable with a patch. I can look into it in a few days when I
am back from vacation and in front of a computer again. The autotestpkg
tests set KERAS_BACKEND=theano which is why this was missed. In the
meantime users can set this environment variable similarly as a
work-around. I don't really like changing upstream default behaviour but
perhaps in this case it is warranted as an interim solution.

Regarding Tensorflow packaging I do not know, someone on debian-science
mentioned difficulties with its build system. I do hope these are
resolvable but it seems to be a big issue.
