I think the intent was that you would not need to do anything, so that no guidance was needed. Obviously that didn't quite work out as the removal of jessie-updates resulted in error messages. In future, the -updates suite will not be removed until end of LTS. As for jessie-backports, the removal was announced in July 2018.
