Now that we have an awesome mapnick debian package that @faidon built, we need to deploy it via puppet to all maps servers. Otherwise, that lib does not get packaged with the kartotherian deployment repo, thus kartotherian fails to boot up.
TBD: would it affect existing installations that have a mapnik lib deployed as part of the deb package?

As a first validation step, we can manually push the libmapnik3.0 package manually to maps-test* servers.
libmapnik3.0 is packaged for stretch and sid, I'm not sure why it hasn't made it to jessie-backports.
Packages don't automatically move to jessie-backports. Someone has to build the version in stretch against jessie, sign and upload to the archive (similar to an upload to unstable). Moreover, that someone either has to be either the maintainer of the unstable/testing package, or someone else with upload rights but if so, only with the maintainer's permission. Subsequent updates are not automatic either (they need to be manually rebuilt), although usually getting the maintainer's permission once is enough.
libmapnik3.0 is available on maps-test2002 for testing (yes, we really need a test cluster)
Per our conversation at the Services meeting yesterday, I just reprepro included the mapbox-variant and mapnik source and binary packages to the backports section of the jessie-wikimedia suite of our own apt repo (the ones that were under https://people.wikimedia.org/~faidon/mapnik/).
Deploying the mapnik library to the maps servers is a matter of adding a Package puppet resource in the right class now — I'll leave that to @Gehel :)
Thanks @faidon ! I'll add that package soon and we'll see about testing the node 6 upgrade...
