Another problem is that in a vanilla debian-8, dconf-service is installed, but the dconf tool is not, so an updated template also lacks the dconf tool. That means that the qubes-core-agent install on upgrade throws warning - "dconf: command not found"
I'm not clear why @tomemstv doesn't show this behaviour, even using packages from Qubes testing.

For all that, on my upgraded debian-8 the template upgrades to qubes-core-agent (3.2.26-1+deb9u1), and appears to be fully functional.

(If the dconf tool is required then qubes-core-agent should require dconf-cli)
