According to backports policy jessie-backports must be updated with updates from Stretch at a minimum of until Buster's release and a maximum of when Jessie goes EOL, which will be somewhere between June 2018 and the end of April 2020 ( https://wiki.debian.org/LTS ). All backporters have a responsibility to maintain their backports with updates from codename+1 until codename+2 is released, but IIRC they become the LTS Team's responsibility when old-stable becomes old-old-stable.
