Jessie package does install cleanly. As we have our own local mirror of Debian APT repository, I can deploy it easily enought to all our Wheezy hosts (we have 300+ Linux/Debian hosts). The only problem I see with this approach is that I have to monitor Jessie security updates closely and make sure to "import" any updated package in our Wheezy repository. I'd rather not mess with the APT configuration of our Wheezy hosts and add Jessie repositories along preferences/priorities/pinning, unless you tell me this is the recommended course of action from Debian point of view.
