I'm not sure (and will certainly be corrected if wrong), but I can only assume that the Ascii versions of these packages are not done yet, and that the lower version numbers actually mean those are in fact older packages from a time quite before Jessie went stable. IOW, you'd probably actually *downgrade*, if you were to install the Ascii versions!!
