Well… testing → stable-backports → oldstable-backports-sloppy So, as long as there is no stretch, there is no stretch-backports, there is no jessie-backports-sloppy. You can of course upload anything to jessie-backports that has entered testing, but I guess for everything that does not enter testing during the freeze, you'll have to wait. I'd also strongly advice against uploading new upstream versions of existing packages that will not make it into stretch to unstable now. (Disclaimer: This is a layman's shot at the problem ☺. More experienced DMs or DDs, please correct me!)
