ia32-apt-get encodes its own version into the version of converted
packages. That way every time the converter fixes some bug all
converted packages get upgraded to a new version. That might not be
always neccessary but generally is.

So this is totaly expected.

Better add the pinings from /usr/share/doc/ia32-apt-get/NEWS.Debian.gz
