$ apt-cache policy yiff-server
yiff-server:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.12.4-6
  Version Table:
     2.14.2-2 0
          1 http://localhost unstable/main Packages
          1 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
     2.12.4-6 0
        990 http://localhost stable/main Packages
        990 http://ftp.it.debian.org stable/main Packages

2.14 is certainly higher than 2.12. So I don't understand what you
mean...
