Seems it is not the case:

$ apt-cache policy cups
cups:
  Installed: 1.5.0-8
  Candidate: 1.5.0-8
  Version table:
     1.5.0-10 0
        700 http://mirror.yandex.ru/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.5.0-8 0
        990 http://mirror.yandex.ru/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.4.4-7 0
        900 http://mirror.yandex.ru/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages
