gir1-ostree version is wrong on Debian stable

When i try to install Buildstream, it reports that the ostree version (with python bindings) is too old to be used.

I have seen this error occur multiple times, and the fix suggested in the error message does not fix the problem:

OSTree is too old.\n BuildStream requires OSTree >= v2017.8 with Python bindings. Install it using your package manager (usually ostree or gir1.2-ostree-1.0).\n" OSTree is too old.", " BuildStream requires OSTree >= v2017.8 with Python bindings. Install it using your package manager (usually ostree or gir1.2-ostree-1.0).", "

However gir1.2-ostree-1.0 on Debian 9 installs 2016.15-5, which means i still not can not install Buildstream.
