Was there an agreement about this? I've searched for a specific date,
with no success.

Yesterday Santiago Ruano Rincón sent a related message[1]:

And yes, although the LTS Wiki page[2] currently states that Wheezy
well be supported from February 2016, there's no mention on the Debian
Security FAQ[3] that they will be stopping the Wheezy support
prematurely (e.g. because it will be handled by the LTS team).

So, will there be some overlap, like both Security and LTS teams
working on supporting the same release for a few (2-3) months?
