You are mixing the stable and unstable releases.  Do not do this.  It
will break things.  See https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian.

The problem is that codecrypt and other packages on sid use a newer
libstdc++6 version.  Packages on jessie use an older libstdc++6 version.
It's warning you that if you upgrade libstdc++6, you will break every
c++ program you have installed.

The dependencies worked fine for me when I installed it on a fully sid
system.

If you want it to work on jessie, it needs to be recompiled for jessie.
The build-depends don't look bad so you shouldn't run into problems
making a backport.
