In wheezy (7) you have to choose one or the other, keys or password
unless you are using openssh-server 6.6 from backports.  Since 6.3, the
server will allow both a key and a password to be required¹.  See the
option "AuthenticationMethods" in the manual page for sshd_config.

In testing, (upcoming jessie aka debian 8) you have a newer version of
the server, 6.7.

Further down the line, in 6.8, it looks like the option even for
requiring multiple keys will be allowed².
