Sorry for this... Short answer: they are different, and the ressemblance is only coincidental. Each lines indicate an URL and a distribution. http://http.debian.net/ is a mirror of the Debian archive. The wheezy-updates distribution is there to together with wheezy, wheezy-backports, jessie, sid, etc. It contains the packages that will be part of the next point update. This inlcudes security updates, but not immediately after their release. http:/security.debian.org/ is not a section of the Debian archive, it is an archive on its own. If I remember correctly, the rationale for using a separate archive is that for a quick diffusion of security updates, it was better to avoid the lag caused by the mirroring of the regular archive. For wheezy, the distribution to pick is wheezy/updates. Both lines are really needed.
