  it seems to follow the version once you've
upgraded from a different repository.

  you can always uncheck the apt lines for stretch,
and sid in the Settings -> Repositories and then do 
an update to reload.  then that will show you only
the versions available in Jessie.  then any versions
you have upgraded beyond Jessie will show up as
Installed (local or obsolete) in the Status selection.
