Yes, t-p-u. :-) (i.e. testing-proposed-updates).

A version of "1.0.15-1+deb7u1" would be more conventional here, in order
to indicate that the upload was made out of sequence and specifically
targeted at wheezy rather than unstable. 1.0.15-2 would work, assuming
it's never been used for any upload to Debian.

Please prepare the upload, using "wheezy" as the distribution in the
changelog and attach the debdiff to a release.debian.org unblock bug -
reportbug will create a correctly usertagged bug - indicating in the
body of the report that it's intended for t-p-u. We'll check the debdiff
and assuming everything is okay you can then upload to ftp-master as
usual.

Regards,

Adam
