Hi,

are you sure you are not mixing up repositories? I have jessie
backports configured, and if I try to pull freecad apt would install
version 0.16+dfsg2-1~bpo8+1. You can check where your package would be
pulled from by using:

apt-get install --simulate freecad

which will perform a dry run. In my case it says:

....
Inst freecad (0.16+dfsg2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports:1.0.0/jessie-backports [amd64])
....
