I have today seen the news report below, and wonder whether it needs

Good to see that Debian has already implemented the patches through
Debian Squeeze LTS.
To be fair, this was implemented when squeeze was still stable, as
according to the below link Wheezy was officially released over 7 months
after this fix

A reasonably good summary and description of the leapsecond issues
appears in the up-voted answer posted here:

Nice one Bob. This link also points out this was an issue with the NTP
server software (although it seemed in 2012 the main issue was with the
kernel)
Bret
You may want to also check your version of NTP (if you are running the
software). You may also want to check your version of the tzdata package
if you are *not* running NTP. This should be 2015d-0+deb6u1
