Let's ask APT (assuming one has the relevant sources in sources.list)
$ apt-cache policy less
less:
Installed: 444-4
Candidate: 444-4
Version table:
*** 444-4 0
500 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
500 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
436-1 0
500 http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
As you can see, version 444 is in both sid (unstable) and wheezy
(currently testing). Wheezy is frozen (that mean no new versions of
software) since 30 Jun, so it is highly unlikely that less version 451
will make it into wheezy.
Your only chance would be stable-backports, as soon as it is available
(usually shortly after a release) and the new less has migrated to
testing.
Hope this explains,
Andrei
