I would still pursue getting it into Wheezy. TexLive 2012 official release was _after_ freeze, but it got almost-2012 version before the freeze (i.e. since May). I'm not sure how correct that approach was, but I definitely appreciate the effect. Lilypond 2.16 has many engraving errors fixed and lot of things improved. And it didn't get a stable mark by chance. I don't see a good reason to punish Debian users and provide ~1.5y old version (assuming release in November, but I guess we'll have to wait till 2013 rather). Quoting http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html: "For packages which missed the freeze only for reasons outside of the control of the maintainers, we might be generous, but you need to contact us on your own, and you need to contact us soon." Well, Lilypond has its own binary releases, but still, being able to get your moderately-recent application straight from the repository is irreplaceable.
