It's not in backports. But the version from Sid is installable on
Wheezy (at least the last version I copied over was :-). I don't think
an official backport is worth the effort.

No, but e.g. "dpt push" and some other tools are neat when developing
(possibly local) backports. Same counts for its included lintian
checks.

And its function as meta-package pulling in all tools necessary for
perl package development is neat on oldstable and oldoldstable, too,
even if only used for developing local perl module packages (as I do
occassionally at work). And that's the part where the "| mr" part is
neat. :-)

.oO( So much discussion about four bytes. :-)
