Hi Thomas,I am by no means a BPO FTP master, so please do not consider my answer authoritative by any means.

My current plans: ================= If everything goes as planned (if python-repoze.what gets removed from Sid & Testing as per #805407, python-repoze.who, python-pysaml2 and finally Keystone (in this order of dependency) will all migrate to Stretch. Then I'll be able to upload all of OpenStack Liberty within the following days to jessie-backports. This is a lot of upload: maybe about 150 packages (I didn't look enough in the details to know the exact figures, but when Liberty was released, I had 102 packages to upload to move from Experimental to Sid, which I have done in 3 days).
This sounds like a huge amount of work, not only on your side but also on the side of backports FTP master. So may I ask you to provide more information about your motivation for using backports for this plan?
To me the issue you're trying to tackle here seems to be a bit oversized for the scope of Debian Backports. Maybe creating another Debian Blend[1] is the better approach to solve your issue?
What does the official Debian Backports archive solve better than a Debian Blend would solve?
