Wheezy is just "Debian 7", and this includes all the point releases,
so IMHO the logical thing to do is to drop the "0" in "70". That's
what I did in gettext_0.18.3-1~bpo7+1 uploaded a few days ago.
What we are doing in wheezy (where the point releases are 7.x) is
similar to what Linus did with "Linux 3". He was using
2.6.something.pointversion and now it's just 3.something.pointversion.
We were using 6.0.pointversion in squeeze and now we use 7.pointversion.
Thanks.
