Pinning?  Wait for the one in Sid to move into Jessie?  Or for its 
dependencies to do so?  I don't really know teh answer to your 
question, since I do not know the _best_ way, but the archives now 
have a clear statement that he package does in fact exist, just not 
in Jessie.  I'm sure that you knew that already!
