You probably didn't specify the correct FTP server which is:
Server: http://ftp.ports.debian.org
Folder: /debian-ports/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=879130
This bug will be fixed once debian-installer has gained full support for backports.

If using the above mirror, installation should work. If not, please
report a bug.

Which packages are those. Again, please report issues as you find them.
