That's not correct, backports has a newer version:

% rmadison ca-certificates-java
ca-certificates-java | 20121112+nmu2   | oldstable        | source, all
ca-certificates-java | 20140324        | stable           | source, all
ca-certificates-java | 20140324        | stable-kfreebsd  | source, all
ca-certificates-java | 20161107~bpo8+1 | jessie-backports | source, all
ca-certificates-java | 20161107        | testing          | source, all
ca-certificates-java | 20161107        | unstable         | source, all
