Hum... not in Debian and many other distributions, look:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tesseract/
Individual .deb files display package architecture and version.

Ah, then no.
In my computers I only have defined "main/contrib/non-free" the "update"
repo and in servers I also add "volatile" (or the new one that replaces
it), but no more. Should I need anything else coming from a third-party
repo I would manually add it, install whatever I need and afterwards,
remove it.

Did you try to compile tesseract for your Debian version? You can do that
on the virtual machine, just to see how it goes :-?

Well, it can be years of work that now cannot render with the new
version... you will get very angry birds (oops... sorry, I mean "users",
angry users) if you update the package to the last version that is not
backwards compatible :-)
