Something else would be better- not using jessie-backports. If you're
already using testing, enabling jessie-backports is pointless and will
put you halfway into FrankenDebian territory. Beware.
I would do something like this:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main
