No, it isn't wrong. If you'd like the specific version, follow what's
in the FAQ to get the specific version. Otherwise, we're going to
follow the Debian guidelines which are quite sensible and more-or-less
say "make new builds go against the latest version".

This *is* the proper packaging.

If you want the specific version, update your deb line. Don't complain
because you used the Debian repo that follows the Debian guidelines and
didn't like what you got- that's not going to change.

Thanks,
