linux-latest for jessie

[wferi@niif.hu]

Dear Kernel Team,

The linux-4.9 package version 4.9.210-1~deb8u1 was accepted into jessie
at 2020-03-02, however, it wasn't accompanied by a corresponding
linux-latest update, so my jessie machines having linux-image-4.9-amd64
installed didn't pull in the new linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.12-amd64.  Was
this intentional, and do I misunderstand the linux-image-4.9 logic meant
for jessie?  What's the current best practice for running jessie systems
with Linux 4.9?  (I know that jessie is oldoldstable, the replacement
systems are already under testing, but until then...)

(Please Cc me, I'm not subscribed.)
