You mean "unsatisfiable".
I've tracked it down to the version of tzdata package which is not correctly set for the specific timestamp we want our snapshot to be at. For 2015-11-02 01:00:00 time it is expected that tzdata candidate version is 2015f-0+deb8u1, but it is actually 2015g-0+deb8u1. This makes all the packages that depend on the exact version of tzdata not being able to install properly (e.g. tzdata-java). Is this the problem with Debian Snapshot or with tzdata-java package
Looking at the files, I can't see how that could possibly happen. There are no tzdata packages in the security archive, and those in jessie were 2015f. I can find no mention of tzdata 2015g in the URLs that you quoted. (2015g was in jessie-updates at the time, but a) you don't mention having a sources.list entry for jessie-updates and b) both tzdata and tzdata-java were the same version).
