Googled it on Debian and found it in syslinux-utils, where it was listed as being a component in Stretch, and SID, but not in Jessie backports. .
Downloaded the source from the ftp site, and before backporting it, decided to check again.
It was indeed in the standard Jesse repo, but somehow I had forgotten to load its package. I found it by simply peeking inside the package with mc on a local mirror.
The average person hasnt a clue as to backporting, or how to 'peek' inside package contents.
