“at that time”, okay, but there might have been later uploads, and…

this is so:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/05/msg00022.html
“For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
4.0.2-6+deb7u21.”
# apt-cache policy libtiff-tools
libtiff-tools:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.0.2-6+deb7u5
Version table:
4.0.2-6+deb7u5 0
500 http://archive.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
It would be great if the last state of LTS, ideally with a signature
that does not expire for a couple of years¹, were available from
archive.d.o as well.

① Some day I’m going to implement (and retrofit) Release.gpg signature
pinning, so that we can circumvent timestamp checks if the actual
signature file content is identical to the one present on the local
filesystem, so we can use SecureAPT also with historic releases.
