I may have misunderstood the intent.
No-one should install these unless they are already using jessie-
backports. The intent is primarily that they can be updated even
though jessie-backports will not be updated.
However, this dependency on a version not in jessie is a real bug. It
is probably safe to update linux-base in jessie, but I'll have to take
some time to verify that.
