trusty-backports has "NotAutomatic: yes"

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/Release

Which means that, for binary packages at least, you have to explicitly
ask for them from -backports (or have that forced on you by package
relations). Does this not apply to source packages too?

If not, this might be an apt bug / feature request too.

(Just checked...

ubuntu@test:~$ apt-cache policy lxc
lxc:
  Installed: (none)

So no, it doesn't.)

Title:
  don't apt-get source packages from -backports

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  Triaged
Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  lxc in trusty depends now on lxcfs but this is only available in the
  backports pocket.  This triggers ADT failures:

  https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac
  /autopkgtest-trusty/trusty/ppc64el/l/lxc/20151118_111844@/log.gz

  Either way I do not believe this is a valid dependancy with it in that
  pocket.
