There's this thing called a "freeze", you see. Unfortunately the fix
was uploaded just as Wheezy went into its long freeze; if at that
point somebody had stepped in with a convincing argument for the bug
being release-critical (I don't see it myself) then it could have had
a freeze-exception, but at this stage it would be more likely to
result in the package being removed.
Of course if the maintainer is embarrassed enough we might get a fixed
version in backports, or even a point release.
