The question at <http://askubuntu.com/q/763075> called my attention to this. The explanation why the version in the Ubuntu/Debian archives stopped working in 16.04 is that it's not compatible with the new Chinese fonts provided by the fonts-noto-cjk package, which is installed by default in all Ubuntu flavors (see <https://bugs.debian.org/814433>).
So either it should be upgraded or dropped from the yakkety and xenial archives.
