What do you mean by moving target?

wheezy is codename for the latest release is Debian 7.8. It is also (currently)
known as stable

The most problematic part is that freeipa-client is not in repositories of
debian stable or debian testing (just debian unstable)
https://packages.debian.org/sid/freeipa-client

The bigger problem with wheezy an Ubuntu 12.04 is that they contain very old
version of sssd.

debian wheezy
    1.8.4-2
    https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=sssd

Ubuntu 12.04
    1.8.2-0ubuntu1
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/sssd

NOTE: They may work but may contains bugs.

For Ubuntu 12.04, there is the Timo's ppa repo which contains new sssd.
