reportbug showing more recent linux kernel than exists in .au repo
Now this happened yesterday (or possibly the day before, don't
remember sorry), more than 24 hours ago anyway, as well as just now.
Here's what happens:
$ uname -a
Linux x220a02 3.12-1-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.12.6-2
(2013-12-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ reportbug linux-image-3.12-1-rt-amd64

Now these are the only two uncommented lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
Now:

So any ideas why there is apparently a newer kernel, and it appears
that I have nothing newer to install, yet reportbug is telling me
there is a newer kernel.
$ dpkg -s linux-image-3.12-1-rt-amd64|grep -i version
Version: 3.12.6-2
Does this just mean that the Australian mirror has for some reason not
been updated?
How do I check the au.debian.org mirror last update date/time?
Should I be choosing a different mirror for sid in Australia?
TIA
