It seems to have a different meaning from "supported" in jessie, where point releases can bring in minor enhancements as well as security updates and backports can give some assurance of keeping up-to-date with some packages. Nevertheless, no matter what is on the system, there must be some agreed expectation of what Debian will provide. It appears to me that the most which can be expected is support from the LTS team. Anything through wheezy-backports is at the discretion of a maintainer. An interesting thread begins at https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2016/05/msg00067.html -- Brian.
