So, this is actually an existential issue. If you want a
squeeze-backports now, then you need wheezy to already exist, but
that's just not haw things currently work. In the future (if the
"rolling" concept takes off), you may see a wheezy+1 alongside wheezy,
and thus it would be possible to provide a wheezy-backports before
wheezy is released.
If you're interested in that, you may want to work on CUT [0];
specifically with the people interested in rolling.
Best wishes,
Mike
