Thought I was reporting upstream ;-)  as I'm just a way out of date 10.10 'pure'
DM user leapfrogging the single task centric GNOME2/Unity 'touchyscreen'
nonsense to the new Ubuntu Mate 14.10.

So I'm new to all this, but it looks as if Debian is correct: 
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=meld  Eg. Stable is 1.6.1-1,
Unstable is 1.8.6-1 and only Experimental is 3.11.4-1.  <-- Note 3.11.4 not 
3.11.3.

I think I know the answer to your post here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-sponsors/2014-August/038271.html

For others finding this thread in the future a workaround is to download 1.8.6
from http://meldmerge.org/ and follow the included instructions to run meld
without installing.  Extract into a local folder, and create a new Main Menu
entry.  In Launcher Properties browse to {your_local_folder}/bin/meld.  By not
installing you should not affect any future patches/fixes to the Ubuntu
repository version.
