Try doing m-a -t update and/or m-a -t clean. Perhaps adding -f to m-a will help too. Sometimes it doesn't realize that you want to install a newer version. Perhaps the reason is that you are trying to make it use a version from unstable while your system in general doesn't use unstable. Most likely -f will be enough to force rebuilding even though there is already a package matching your kernel version.
