In Debian, packages are available from repositories. The official Debian repositories are each named after a Debian release (by codename, not by number). Each release repository contains packages designed and tested, to some limited degree, to work together for that release. Different versions of the same package can exist in different repositories at the same time. The current "stable" release is codenamed "wheezy". The version of linux-image-amd64 in the "wheezy" repository depends on the latest amd64 Linux kernel in the "wheezy" repository: 3.2.0-4. The current "testing" release is codenamed "jessie". The version of linux-image-amd64 in the "jessie" repository depends on the latest amd64 Linux kernel in the "jessie" repository: 3.14-1. There are other repositories: stable-backports, oldstable, unstable, and so forth. Most of them contain a version of linux-image-amd64. In each one, the version of linux-image-amd64 will depend on the latest amd64 Linux kernel in that repository, which may not be the same as the latest one in any other repository. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
