It's definitely planned. Even before it was in NEW, the plan was
already to get letsencrypt into stable-backports.

That plan may have been only mentioned on IRC (at least that's where I
know it from), but there were IIRC at least two bug reports related to
backporting itself.

There's even the idea (brought up by myself) to make backports to
(wheezy|oldstable)-backports-sloppy, but that's much more work than
for Jessie and I failed on it so far.

A promising alternative for Wheezy boxes may be
https://github.com/lukas2511/letsencrypt.sh -- which implements the
client in pure bash (not pure bourne shell as it seems). It's under
MIT license, but not (yet) packaged. Haven't tried it yet, though.
