You must import this PGP key so that apt can ensure that the repository 
has not been tampered with:

$ gpg --recv-key EA8E8B2116BA136C
gpg: requesting key 16BA136C from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: key 16BA136C: "Backports.org Archive Key <ftp-master@backports.org>" 
not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

$ gpg --check-sigs EA8E8B2116BA136C
pub   1024D/16BA136C 2005-08-21
uid       [marginal] Backports.org Archive Key <ftp-master@backports.org>
sig!         7E7B8AC9 2005-11-20  Joerg Jaspert <joerg@debian.org>
sig!3        16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key <ftp-master@backports.org>
sig!3        16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key <ftp-master@backports.org>

sig!         16BA136C 2005-08-21  Backports.org Archive Key <ftp-master@backports.org>

$ gpg --export EA8E8B2116BA136C | sudo apt-key add -
Password:
OK

Note that if you don't have the signatures of any Debian Developers
on your keyring, you can't really verify the key as in stage 3; you'll
just have to hope that they key you recieve is genuine.

Instead of downloading it via gpg you can probably get it off
http://backports.org/ somewhere... ah:

$ curl http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | apt-key add -
