I don't know why you're continuing to generalise from one instance to
the indefinite future of rar.  It's not that difficult for proprietary
software vendors to build on an old distribution to ensure wide binary
compatibility, and RARLAB appears to do so now.

Based on the current (unstable) binary's symbol versions, it appears
that wheezy is new enough to run it.
