linux-4.9 in jessie, broken dependency on linux-base

[Baptiste Jonglez <baptiste@bitsofnetworks.org>]

Hi,

I saw the recent announcement about linux-4.9 [1,2] in jessie.

However, these new packages are not installable without jessie-backports,
because they depend on linux-base >= 4.3~, while only linux-base 3.5 is
available on plain jessie:

    # apt install linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.7-amd64
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.7-amd64 : Depends: linux-base (>= 4.3~) but 3.5 is to be installed

Aren't these linux-image-4.9* packages supposed to be used without
jessie-backports?  I may have misunderstood the intent.

Thanks and best regards,
Baptiste
