Thanks for the hint, it worked fine on my stretch system!  Here are the
packages that got pulled:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  dkms linux-compiler-gcc-6-x86 linux-headers-4.9.0-1-amd64
  linux-headers-4.9.0-1-common linux-headers-amd64 linux-kbuild-4.9
  wireguard-dkms wireguard-tools


On jessie, it worked exactly the same with the 4.9 kernel from
jessie-backports:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian unstable main
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 200
# apt update
# apt install -t jessie-backports linux-image-amd64 linux-base
# reboot
# apt install wireguard-dkms wireguard-tools
# ./client.sh
# ping 192.168.4.1
PING 192.168.4.1 (192.168.4.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.4.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=15.1 ms

For the record, it also works fine with the 4.1.34.mptcp kernel from
multipath-tcp.org on jessie :)

Jason, can you write something up on the Wireguard website, since it's so
simple?
