Yes, it was. Compare this: # apt-get install linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 : Breaks: initramfs-tools (< 0.110~) but 0.109.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages To this: apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 The following extra packages will be installed: initramfs-tools Suggested packages: linux-doc-3.11 debian-kernel-handbook The following NEW packages will be installed: linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 The following packages will be upgraded: initramfs-tools Unless you allow apt to search dependencies outside of preferred release (wheezy) - it will try to install from backports only the package you've told it to install (i.e. linux-image).
