Wheezy isn't Debian stable yet, so dropping Squeeze would be premature
 My preferred support policy for Debian is that stable and oldstable
(for as long as it remains oldstable; for example, there's currently
no oldstable for Debian once security updates stopped for Lenny) be
officially supported.

Of course, now *is* a good time to add a debian-wheezy install target.
