You can only upload packages that are already in testing for
wheezy-backports, i.e. for redeclipse specifically, you'll need to
wait until wheezy is released and the version that you want to
backport (1.4-1, currently in experimental) migrates to testing,
_before_ uploading 1.4-1~bpo70+1 to wheezy-backports (this is to
ensure a smooth upgrade path for users with backports enabled, to the
next stable release).

If it is an absolute requirement for users to use the current version,
you may want to consider filing a removal request for redeclipse 1.2
from testing.

Vincent
