Hi,

I'm also running tor on wheezy : Currently running  v0.2.9.9.

To ease your life in remaining up to date, you can as well get tor from 
the Tor Project itself, by using this apt config file :

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list
deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org  wheezy main

Hope this helps
