This is a simple workaround, I am sure there are better ways of doing this, so please contribute below if you have objections.

Temporarily enable the unstable repositories (sid), to do this you need to:
-open sypaptic package manager
-go to settings, then to repositories, then other software,
-then click "add" and paste the following:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
click on add source
-then once again "add" and paste:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
then close this window and go to the main synaptic window and click on reload
then search for the bitcoin package, and install both bitcoin-qt and bicoind

when done, disable the unstable repos by going to settings, then repositories, then other software, then uncheck the unstable repositories that we added above

When you want to update the software, then you can re-check the unstable repositories, search for the bitcoin software on synaptic, right click and update the specific packages.

Do not run a full upgrade with the unstable repositories checked because then you will no longer be running Debian stable.
