"pure-jessie" has no way of knowing that the packages you refer to
exist. You must have added jessie-proposed-updates to the sources.list.

No.
It might well fail on a machine with jessie-proposed-updates in the
sources.list, but that's to be expected sometimes, as the arch:all
packages will often be available before those of some architectures
where the binary packages are built on the buildds.
