At this point in time, nothing. Too late I'm afraid.

That will not happen because in order for a package to be able to be in 
jessie-backports it's very same version should be available in stretch. And we 
can't push it to stretch now.

It might be possible to add it to stretch-backports once we get it into 
testing (ie, after stretch's release) but I am not really interested in doing 
it myself.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
