If you want to try to install jessi without updating your system it's possible. Add repositry to /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update. Then use this and only this command to upgrade only that package from new repository (check if you need to replace jessie with unstable or something like that):
apt-get -t jessie install name of your package
You don't need to remove repository from your sources list because this command will lock upgrades of other packages. Check this url for more info: https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences, in section "Installing from unstable".

Is it possible to install the obfs4proxy package securely (with signature verification) on Ubuntu? I looked at this a while ago, but couldn't figure out how to make it work.

I requested that the obfs4proxy package in Debian jessie be ported to wheezy-backports, [0] however, it seems this is extremely unlikely to happen because it would mean backporting pretty much every Golang package in existence.
Last I heard, that was mostly unnecessary, though how exactly this apt pinning stuff works is a mystery to me[0].
I would be super stoked if we could make it as easy and seamless as
possible for the Bridge operators who are still running obfs2 (!!) to move to supporting better, newer Pluggable Transports. Currently recommended PTs to run are: obfs3, obfs4, scramblesuit, and fteproxy. When Tor Browser 4.5 becomes stable (probably in mid-April 2015), we'll want lots more obfs4 Bridges! For the super adventurous sysadmins who'd like to try Yawning's experimental new post-quantum PT, Basket [1] is one of the newest PTs.
More obfs4 bridges would be amazing. It's worth noting that obfs4proxy can also handle obfs2 and 3 (and with a branch that I need to test/merge soon, a ScrambleSuit client), and it even is easy to run bridges on ports < 1024 without messing with port forwarding.
Basket is still a research project and non-researchers shouldn't deploy it because the wire format may change (and it consumes a hilarious amount of bandwidth).
We should probably come up with some easy instructions for operators
of Tor Bridge relays who are running Debian stable, such as adding an Apt pin to pull in only the obfs4proxy package and its dependencies from Debian jessie and keep everything else pinned to stable. If someone has done this, or has another simple solution, would you mind writing up some short how-to on the steps you took, please?

All of obfs4proxy's dependencies are build time. The binary is statically linked because that's what Go does. David S.'s ansible-tor package does it like this:
https://github.com/david415/ansible-tor/commit/ f897581daa79389ddcb28c7dae601473e85e8226
So the documentation should be a matter of "how to setup the apt pin for a single package". I've heard someone complaining about the tor AppArmor profile but that also isn't something I've dealt with ever.

[0]: I just scp the binary to my bridge whenever I need to update it, and my idea of how to update all my linux systems starts with "pacman" and not "apt-get".
