What happened to jessie-backports?

It moved to http://archive.debian.org/.

/etc/apt/sources.list on a jessie box should now look like this:

deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

and /etc/apt/apt.conf should have this:

Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";

Thanks to Stephen Kitt.
