Much to my regret (and others, too, I'm sure), yesterday, on 15 April

double checked just to be sure, and in the course of that check also
discovered "official" Debian support for Wheezy will cease in a little
over a week on 26 April 2016 -- just 3 years after its release.
However, it will automatically enter LTS until 2018 at which time all
support ceases and EOL "officially" occurs.
Well, at least I have time to look for an alternative. Maybe, Devuan
will be viable by then, but I doubt it. Or Debian will offer a choice
of inits as a standard option during installs on future releases, but
I very much doubt it.

Some other systems to look at are, Kali Linux https://www.kali.org/ -
EXE GNU/Linux http://exegnulinux.net/ - Q40S http://q4os.org/ I have
them all installed. Some of these are built from bootstrap and are not
remasters of other systems, all are ".deb" systems.
