Are you referring to the

  * [armhf] Enable VIRTIO_BALLOON and VIRTIO_PCI (Closes: #750742)

entry? That's armhf, not arm64. Or was there a different
reference that I missed?

Anyway, in my 8.5 arm64 guest, virtio-pci doesn't seem to
be there at all:

  $ grep VIRTIO /boot/config-3.16.0-4-arm64
  CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
  CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
  CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m
  CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=m
  # CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES is not set
