I think you (anonym) have fixed the Vagrant bits on #9262 already, and
the only blocker left now is #7642, that bertagaz committed to work on
(not sure he realized that it was actually blocking #9262 though).

Right ⇒ I've applied Chris' patch on the branch that ports our build
system to Jessie (feature/9262-build-on-jessie). Yay, thanks!

By the way, it seems that we have a similar construct
(dpkg-parsechangelog | awk '/^Version: /) in other files:

  * auto/scripts/tails-custom-apt-sources (used at build time, so
    it could go on the same branch)
  * features/step_definitions/build.rb (used when running the test
    suite, which requires Jessie already)


Cheers!
