Support sloppy backports

[bzed]

hi :)

Looking at https://travis-ci.org/bzed/pkg-open-vm-tools/builds/278144490?utm_source=email&utm_medium=notification it seems that backports for -sloppy are not handled yet.

If i find the time I'll come up with a patch.

Hi @lamby!

Thanks for the update, but I think now you are missing the apt preferences for backports - only sloppy seems to be added to /etc/apt/prferences.d

@bzed Hey, you forgot to re-open the issue. I hope bbd7040 fixes it for you though?

@lamby I don't have the permissions to reopen it ;) I think only the repository owner is allowed to do that. I'm rebuilding the branch right now, will let you know. thanks!

@lamby I fear there is still something missing:

https://travis-ci.org/bzed/pkg-open-vm-tools/builds/278144490?utm_source=email&utm_medium=notification

Investigating (0) open-vm-tools-build-deps [ amd64 ] < 2:10.1.10-3~bpo8+1 > ( devel )
Broken open-vm-tools-build-deps:amd64 Depends on debhelper [ amd64 ] < 9.20150101+deb8u2 | 10.2.5~bpo8+1 > ( devel ) (>= 9.20160402~)
  Considering debhelper:amd64 7 as a solution to open-vm-tools-build-deps:amd64 -2
  Removing open-vm-tools-build-deps:amd64 rather than change debhelper:amd64
Done

Right now I fail to understand why debhelper from backports is not being installed, works fine here in my jessie-backports chroot.

@bzed APT pinning?
