I have noticed that you have backported nodejs and node-uglify to
Wheezy, and that you have put the following comment into node-less
debian/rules:
# Ease backporting (node-uglify is tough to backport)
# TODO: drop fallback-dependency after Wheezy
...which I interpret as an intention to backport node-less to Wheezy.
However, to date, there is no such backport. Why?
I wrote that comment. It is related to backporting in general, not
backports.debian.org specifically, and was written back when I still
expected Nodejs to be included in Wheezy (before the frustrating CTTE
committee ruling). Also, I forgot to take oldstable into account.
Comment is now adjusted in our git to this:
TODO: drop fallback-dependency when node-uglify is in oldstable
The existing source package from Jessie produces the binary packages
just fine under Wheezy + nodejs + node-uglify, except for the --help
issue (due to require('../lib/less/lessc_helper')) which is not
specific to Wheezy (and #693944 has a working patch).
Correct - obviously a missing build-dependency for a backport can be
solved by also backporting the build-dependency.
The fallback build-dependency mentioned in that comment is for
supporting stricter backporting rules than those governing
backports.debian.org.

In the course of backporting owncloud to wheezy, I have also uploaded
less.js (source package of node-less) to the wheezy-backports NEW
queue. The package is waiting for bpo ftpmaster approval atm.
