The XKey vmod is part of a collection of VMODs called varnish-modules, already packaged in Debian.

I've just added a versioned build-dep on varnish > 4 to make sure the package can be built on Jessie. It's now a matter of building the package on copper and testing it out.

varnish-module is now available for testing on apt.wikimedia.org (jessie-wikimedia/backports).
