If that means that Debian should maintain its own security fixes for the
whole Wheezy lifetime (probably until 2016), that's “a bit” scary…

Given the difficulties to get fixes in Wheezy during the freeze, the
security team concerns about ownCloud 4.0.x during Wheezy lifetime are
still to take into account.

Maybe would it be better to maintain a quality owncloud package via
backports for the upcoming Wheezy release, and a mature one (long time
stable branch) could make it in Jessie later?

Regards

David

P.-S.: thanks for developing ownCloud, and for providing a proper Debian
package for it, I'm happy to run an instance of it via your package (in
a Squeeze host BTW).
