You don't really need to do that.

All backports are deactivated by default and you need to do

apt-get -t jessie-backports install whatever

to install them.

So, contrary to what happens with other sources.list lines, adding the
backports line will not make "apt-get upgrade" to suddenly "contaminate"
your system with lots of new versions of already installed packages.
