Unable to install docker on a fresh debian 8 jessie

I'm trying to install docker-engine on a fresh debian 8 (jessie). I followed the instructions listed here. Unfortunately, docker-engine fails to install using apt, and after having wasted so many hours trying to solve this I have absolutely no idea what to do next. I also tried to install version 1.9.0-0~jessie, but this generates the same errors.

uname -a:

Linux seven 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 (2015-08-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is what happens when I try to install:

For reference here is what I did to get things working...

I used Boynux' instructions from one of the comments in the OP and installing on a fresh jessie failed again.

systemctl status docker.service

● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
       └─override.conf
 Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2016-01-28 03:48:32 CET; 9s ago
   Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Process: 7968 ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker daemon -H fd:// ${DOCEKR_OPTS} (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 7968 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

After this I renamed /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf to /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf.bak, restarted systemd and the docker service and everything magically works!

Detailed steps:

curl https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker berten
touch /etc/default/docker
sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker.service
systemctl status docker.service
sudo mv /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf.bak
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker.service
systemctl status docker.service

So I guess with all unnecessary steps removed this should work too:

curl https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker berten
touch /etc/default/docker
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart docker.service
