Just curious, is there a particular reason why you're in need of a
wget backport? If there's a specific bug or issue that this fixes, you
may want to backport the fix instead to the current version in wheezy,
and ask to have it fixed as an update for wheezy (rather than
wheezy-backports). Also, given that this is a Priority: important
package and not some obscure leaf package, I'm somewhat hesitant to
upload this without approval from the maintainer...
