Yes.  I saw that it had entered wheezy, but I also noticed that I would
need to downgrade condor after I had upgraded debian.

# apt-cache policy condor
condor:
  Installed: 7.9.6-122785
  Candidate: 7.9.6-122785
  Version table:
 *** 7.9.6-122785 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     7.8.2~dfsg.1-1+deb7u1 0
        500 ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/debian/ wheezy/main
amd64 Packages

I guess my question would be better titled .. "latest condor on wheezy".
It might still be good to have a "backported" version to use.  I usually
cannot install packages from sid.
