Yes, you must ask for wheezy update given the upgrade path from unstable is
impossible in this case. Unstable contains a new version uploaded after the
freeze.
However you would be patching a package in such bad quality state I don't
think it is something we want to have in Wheezy. The quality of the package
in unstable is not better. So unless we can have a repackaged package in
Wheezy, which with the current freeze rules is a no-no, it is better not
releasing with Chrony.
