I think using 0.99.22.4-1+wheezy4 would have been correct in this case
but I would continue with 0.99.22.4-1+wheezy3+deb7u2 now. In the light
of our proposed change to reportbug it makes even sense to append
+deb7u1 because this is the string we are looking for when we want to
determine whether someone reports a regressions because of a security
update.
