That has let me upgrade binutils, and it all seems stable so far! 
Had to change kde to tde in some of my scripts.

Thank you for your help, folks. For reference, here is the relevant bit 
of /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb jessie main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie main-r14
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie deps-r14
deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/ jessie deps-r14

cheers
