Version: 1:19.1.6+dfsg-2~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to install erlang 1.19 from backport in my debian 8.5

sudo apt-get -V -t jessie-backports install erlang

i noticed that only erlang will be installeded.

$ LANG=en apt-cache -t jessie-backports policy erlang erlang-base
erlang:
  Installed: 1:19.1.6+dfsg-2~bpo8+1
  Candidate: 1:19.1.6+dfsg-2~bpo8+1
  Version table:

erlang-base:
  Installed: 1:17.3-dfsg-4
  Candidate: 1:19.1.6+dfsg-2~bpo8+1
  Version table:

I tried with another package in backport and no problem.
