To avoid all sorts of hassle, I decided to rebuild the nfsroots (jessie, stretch)
from scratch. I'm running into Debian bug #830229 now (jessie/koeln, 044+109-1).
This did happen before as well (044+105-2) but I didn't notice, and stretch
seems to be unaffected (so this may actually be a policy/dpkg issue?).

Back to reinstalling my manual changes...
