We always upload i3 packages to backports as soon as possible. To enter backports, a package needs to be available in testing first, i.e. there is a minimum delay of 10 days after each i3 release.

OK - 4.7 in now in wheezy-backports (amd64). But can't be installed anyway, because of unsolvable dependencies: "i3-wm : Hängt ab von: libxcb-cursor0 (>= 0.0.99), welches ein virtuelles Paket ist." libxcb-cursor0 is only avaliable in debian sid. Jacobo
libxcb-cursor0 was already uploaded to wheezy-backports, but needs to be accepted by one of the backports ftpmasters.
In the meantime installing libxcb-cursor0 manually did the trick for me; apt-get install libxcb-image0 libxcb-render-util0 # from repo (wheezy) dpkg -i libxcb-cursor0\_0.1.1-2\_amd64.deb # from packages.debian.org (jessie!) apt-get install -t wheezy-backports i3 # great success
