Huh?
Where did you look?
The wordpress package installs WordPress.
WordPress updates independant of Debian packagers. Likewise themes and
extensions.

Please file a bug report with upstream (WordPress) if, after having
reviewed instructions on how to upgrade WordPress (Dashboard -> click on
the icon showing "2", being the number of updates - 1 for WordPress and
the other for the Akismet extension).
In my experience the Wheezy Debian package install WordPress 3.6.1 which
then upgrades to the current latest stable WordPress 3.7.1
