What I mean with "in Debian" is that it (the server part of Buddycloud) 
is packaged in .deb format, uploaded to the Debian archive, approved by 
ftp-masters, and therefore what I call "officially packaged for Debian" 
- i.e. available in either "Sid" or "experimental".

What I mean with "disapproved for Wheezy" is that it (the main 
dependency of the server part of Buddycloud) is unfortunately not 
currently part of the subset of "occifically packaged for Debian" parts 
that is targeted the next upcoming stable distribution release of 
Debian.

Sorry, I see how my choice of words was confusing (but I honestly am 
surprised that _you_ got confused, both being a native english speaker 
and a Debian developer).
