yeah, besides being pretty uncommon it's also pretty wrong I think, as it
implies the version in jessie-backports cannot be upgraded to the version
in stretch, as this would make the intermediate step in jessie-backports
mood… :-)

That said, I can see how this could be more *convinient* (in the case where
there are 3 very different versions involved, in stable, stable-bpo and
testing/future stable but IMO this is broken unreliable design. What if the
version in stable-bpo needs to be upgraded due to security issues and the only
suitable version is the one in testing?)

That said, there is nothing wrong with this is this is *optional*.
