 Bonjour,
 
 I don't understand the following:

 Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
 requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
 distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
 or been moved out of Incoming.
 The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64 : Breaks: initramfs-tools ( 0.110~)
 but 0.109.1 is to be installed
   Breaks: initramfs-tools:i386 ( 0.110~)
 E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
 
 
 What exactly is the problem about initramfs:
 
 # apt-cache show initramfs-tools
 
 Package: initramfs-tools
 Version: 0.109.1
 
 
When you are going to install backport packages (bpo), you must
explicitly indicate apt-get to do so, using the -t option to
target backport repositories.  The problem is that the release
version of initramfs-tools is lower than the needed one in
backports and it won't be installed if target is not set.

If using Wheezy, you must use apt-get this way:
apt-get -t=wheezy-backports install linux-image-3.14.0.bpo.1-amd64

The apt priority of *-backports only allows a package to be upgraded
automatically. You have to speficy a package for it to be installed.

You can check the apt priority of your repositories with apt-cache policy.

The problem is that the kernel you want to install requires a newer
version of initramfs-tools than the one you currently have installed,
but apt-get cannot upgrade to a newer version of initramfs-tools.

Since you are trying to install a 3.14 kernel from backports, I assume
that you are running wheezy.  You need to install the initramfs-tools
package from wheezy-backports too, version 0.115~bpo70+1, I think.

I do not think it is related to the -t wheezy-backports but rather a
difference between apt-get and aptitude: Unlike apt-get, aptitude
suggests to upgrade initramfs-tools after one has rejected some other
proposals.

I didn't have to reject anything.  It just did it.

If you mean redundant, it is a safety precaution.
