If your intent for providing this backport is to fix a bug in stable, I strongly recommend that you instead fix it in stable proper, i.e. prepare a minimal diff against the package in wheezy and file a wheezy proposed update request against the release.debian.org pseudo-package with reportbug (see devref 5.5.1 [1] for more details). Once the release team approves of the debdiff, you can then request a sponsor here as well (or contact the maintainers/uploaders to see if they'd be interested in fixing the bug in wheezy themselves).
