To state precisely -- why security > archive has lower package version than release? 2.37a-1.1etch1 has been uploaded by the Debian testing security team[0] via testing-security to Etch when it was still Testing. This became necessary when a fixed blender package couldn't quickly migrate the normal way from Unstable due to build errors. In fact, it took over four more months before an updated blender package could finally propagate via the normal way. When Etch became Stable it included the blender version present in Testing at that time (2.42a-7), which was/is greater than the version at s.d.o. As this old version at s.d.o causes no harm (unless some user applies some weird pinning) my best guess is that simply nobody bothered to actually remove it.
