Bug#1139613: stimfit: FTBFS against HDF5 2.1.0

Control: reopen 1139613
Control: found 1139613 stimfit/0.17.1-2

A fix for this bug in 0.17 (separate from the bug fix that has already 
been applied to the 0.16 branch) is included in 0.17.2-1, which has been 
uploaded to mentors:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/stimfit/

It also fixes #1140597

Gilles or Adrian, I would appreciate if one of you could sponsor this 
upload.

Best wishes
Christoph
