NO!
Ignore the speculation, well intended though it is.
The debian installer does *not* mean you run an out-dated version of
WordPress - it immediately upgrades to the current version of WordPress
(and all your themes and extensions). When you first login the
Dashboard shows updates available - click on the icon and you'll soon be
running the freshly baked latest WordPress which is downloaded from the
WordPress site.
Upgrading Wheezy to the Jessie when it becomes stable, or indeed,
upgrading to Testing or Unstable tomorrow won't affect the Debian
installed WordPress - it will continue to be the most current version
available from upstream. This is one of the reasons why it's better to
use the Debian installed WordPress than downloading the tarball and
dumping it somewhere.
All the package does is install WordPress into the Debian standard
locations. WordPress then manages it's own updates.
