Some qa.debian.org spelunking finds http://bugs.debian.org/702523
Looks like Twitter updated its API incompatibly during the wheezy freeze

I can't find who did the backport to squeeze-backports-sloppy from the web
interface.

pabs recently uploaded config-package-dev to backports for us without
coordinating with Debathena, so I would assume so? (I intentionally made
the package cleanly backportable, because Debathena internally builds for
all supported releases.)
