You could consider preseeding the installation with a late_command to
add backports to sources.list and update and install with apt-get.
This wouldn't suit you, but it can be adapted:
d-i preseed/late_command string
\
mkdir /target/media/ARCHIVE-9;
\
mount --bind /hd-media /target/media/ARCHIVE-9;
\
sed -i 's/^/#/' /target/etc/apt/sources.list;
\
echo "deb [ trusted=yes ] file:/media/ARCHIVE-9/debian jessie main contrib"
>> /target/etc/apt/sources.list;
\
in-target apt-get update;
\
in-target apt-get -y install mc gpm vim bash-completion less;
