OTOH we are discussing patch releases, i.e. all of 1.4.x is considered a "stable release series" by upstream. So one might argue that 1.4.x is what goes into wheezy, and any release with a newer x needs to go in wheezy as well - as a bug fix or even security fix. See for example the 1.4.8 changes: * Fixed an integer overflow problem that occurs when `ip::address_v4::broadcast()` is used on 64-bit platforms. * Fixed a problem on older Linux kernels (where epoll is used without timerfd support) that prevents timely delivery of deadline_timer handlers, after the program has been running for some time. To me, this sounds like fixes that Debian stable (wheezy) users want to get as well. I didn't check source code changes to confirm this, though.
