I think we're looking at:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=861938 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863009

But Bobby and Daniel can correct me. There might be others related to that topic. 

https://packages.debian.org/file:woff is probably helpful to find out which packages have an impact on this.
