Apt-get gave me the following error:

And so I installed initramfs-tools from wheezy-backports first and then
the linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-686-pae
However, was apt-get correct in not attempting to upgrade
initramfs-tools as well?
Yes, it was. Compare this:
# apt-get install linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64 : Breaks: initramfs-tools (< 0.110~)
but 0.109.1 is to be installed E:

To this:
apt-get install -t wheezy-backports linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64
The following extra packages will be installed:
initramfs-tools
Suggested packages:
linux-doc-3.11 debian-kernel-handbook
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-image-3.11-0.bpo.2-amd64
The following packages will be upgraded:
initramfs-tools
Unless you allow apt to search dependencies outside of preferred
release (wheezy) - it will try to install from backports only the
package you've told it to install (i.e. linux-image).
