I'm under the impression you have a backports on a linux-3.2.y branch
(maybe we should rename these branches to backports-3.2.y for emphasis
and to distinguish from Linux names), if so my objective was to try to
convince you that that branch is only for backporting 3.2 kernel code.
In other words it would produce a backports-3.2 sort of release, and
that release can be used for *any* supported kernel below 3.2, it *is
not* mean to be used when you are on the 3.2 kernel on your Debian
box. You want the latest and greatest backports releases, either the
latest stable release or one based on linux-next.

We've struggled with trying to educate a bit better on this buts its
unclear what we can do to help with this mild but very important
difference.

You don't want to use the 3.2.y branch on either linux or backports,
you want to use the 3.14.y branch on both, or if daring try the master
branch on backports and a respective linux-next tag. That or you can
wait for a public backports-3.14.y release or a new linux-next based
release.
