Are you sure?
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Imon (specifically "lcdproc 0.5.3 appears to
include the imonlcd patch set.")
That could mean that imon in Wheezy's lcdproc is the same as imonlcd.
It's not listed in Wheezy lcdproc-extra-drivers.
You could try the Sid package eg:-
add testing to your sources list
# apt-get update
# apt-get -st unstable install lcdproc | less
And just see what's going to happen (it may not require backporting -
you don't say which kernel version you're running)
If looks ok just proceed.
Don't forget to remove testing from /etc/apt/sources.list afterwards and
then apt-get update.

See my comments above about the last two upstream releases of lcdproc.
The best place for the source is the source - I've put the ref below,
you can build that as a debian package. I'd check dependencies first.
