FYI, I was able to do this via the usual strategy of replacing "stretch" with "sid" in /etc/apt/sources.list, and get an apparently stable system. as a warning, this did require a great deal if finagling with dependencies (eg, packages trying to overwrite other packages which needed to be purged, etc). it also somehow wiped out my mate installation, which i was fine with since i prefer xfce anyway?
