As per #810506 src:linux-grsec will not be part of stretch on purpose (thus this blocking bug). But src:linux-grsec got an exception from the usual rule from a backports ftp-master in https://bugs.debian.org/810506#65 to get to stable users via backports. The idea is, that when src:linux-grsec would have been eligible to migrate to testing under normal circumstances without the blocking bug, then it is allowed to upload the version to jessie-backports. Hope this helps, Regards, Salvatore
