I am completely open to the possibility that you're reading the bug reports better than me. I'm not a developer, so I tried to understand it as best as possible. Whether it's in systemd or udev or both, yes the fix is not in stable/Stretch yet, it's in testing and unstable.
It says on the Debian Backports webpage (https://backports.debian.org/) that "backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing")." So I'm confused, why can't this be updated from testing? Is it because Jessie is oldstable now?

If I'm reading the bug correctly, this is more specifically a bug in udev, when run under sysvinit (not systemd) as pid 1. So it is mitigated by not affecting Debian's default init implementation (although the fix would have to be applied to the systemd source package, because that also builds udev). > You get a message "stopping remaining crypto disks" and then the shutdown procedure hangs and the whole system freezes, leaving only a hard power off to shutdown one's system. > > See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=791944 > And: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792552 > > This was fixed in systemd 233-1. > > See: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/s/systemd/unstable_changelog By backports policy, this can't be fixed in jessie-backports other than by backporting from stretch. I don't see any reference to #791944 having been fixed in stretch? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867335 is a request for permission to update systemd in stretch with some other bug fixes taken from unstable. #791944 would have to go through the same process.
