Thanks for the explanation, now everything is way clearer!  :-)

And indeed they became available, while I was striving to find the time
to test version 4.8.5-1: here's the outcome, I installed the new linux
image from unstable (aptitude -t unstable install linux-image-686) and
rebooted.

I can confirm that version 4.8.5-1 works correctly. 
So, as far as I am *personally* concerned, this bug may be closed as
fixed in version 4.8.5-1 and/or forcemerged with #841850.

Thanks a lot for your assistance and helpfulness!
Bye.
