There is no apt-get GUI, do you mean aptitude?

www.backports.org is (still) an unofficial repository. Because of this 
the key is not included in debian-archive-keyring. An easy solution is 
to install debian-backports-keyring by ignoring any apt-get or aptitude 
warning and run 'update' again.

If you care about this, AFAIK the key is signed by some Debian 
Developers. Their keys are available in debian-keyring package (so you 
have a trust path back to Debian).

Andrei
