as we define wheezy as a stable release, I call this procedere just a
rapid development one.
As I understand you from the developers point of view, this it not a
way anybody of our users would expect to install a Debian package on a
stable system. Exactly for this purpose the backports service was
provided.

The promise for providing a "backport" any other way then via a
(prefered official backports) source list it just a joke.

Just my 2 cents, Jan.
