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. -- .''`.
