While Debian Wheezy (7, our "oldstable" release) still has security support via LTS¹, it is not recommended to run a Tor relay with such old packages. In fact, not even the version available in Jessie (8, our "stable" release - 0.2.5.12-4) is recommended nowadays. I suggest you to update to _at least_ Jessie and use the version in backports (depends on your sysadmining, but if your machine's only use is to run a Tor node, I'd suggest installing Stretch, 9, which has 0.2.9.9-1). ¹ https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
