I take it that this package needs to be installed on the main system, not just present for builds? If you use sbuild for builds, the new (in sbuild 0.65 - targetted for jessie) --extra-package and --extra-repository options make it very easy to add a repo and packages to the build environment. That might help, or not, depending on what your actual requirements are.
