This is because it is not released for Debian 8.2; as stated, you need 
the Testing release of Debian which is what will become the next stable 
release, currently codenamed "Stretch". You can upgrade using 
instructions from https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting, here's the most 
relevant excerpt, but you'll want to read the whole doc:

"To upgrade to testing, if you have already installed the stable 
release, edit your */etc/apt/sources.list* changing 'stable' (or the 
current codename for stable) in the apt lines to 'testing' (or the 
current code name for the next stable release). Additional changes in 
that file might be required. You may also do this with synaptic.

The code name for the next stable release, e.g. "stretch", will track 
"stretch" through its transition into "stable" and later oldstable, 
while "testing" will keep rolling on after a new stable release. If you 
would rather track the stretch <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStretch> 
release as it becomes stable, update your */etc/apt/sources.list* 
replacing "stable" or "testing" with "stretch"."
