I've got a theory. You've been running the Sid version of qcontrol on this machine. Do you by any chance still have an /etc/init.d/qcontrold initscript, and associated links in /etc/rc?.d/ ? This script is only in the sid version but because it is a conffile won't be removed on downgrade. The script runs "qcontrol -d". The effect of running it that no the Wheezy version of qcontrol (0.4.2-7 and +wheezy1 +wheezy2 etc) is that it runs in the foreground -- i.e. it will block the remainder of the boot. This seems like a pretty likely candidate for the issue you are seeing. Debian as a rule doesn't support package downgrades and it is unfortunate that the Wheezy version and Sid version treat -d so differently (an upstream change). I'll see if I can think of a workaround to make this safer. In the meantime I bet adding "exit 0" to the top of /etc/init.d/qcontrold will allow you to use the +wheezy2 package.
