Not sure, but I can reproduce easily on my jessie box:

$ sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports nvidia-kernel-source
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-kernel-source : Depends: make:any


Pushed a fix to the 352-jessie-backports branch. Do we have other fixes pending?

Kind regards,
