Well, maybe I'll forgive 'em... (:-/)  I should always remember
to wander the web a bit before complaining too hard.  I did a
search for "raspberrypi wheezy repo", and it threw up a forum
discussion sparked by somebody with just the same problem.
The answer is to replace the url above with:

   http://legacy.raspbian.org/raspbian/

I just put that in both the above lines (not sure if I should have
changed the 'deb-src' line -- maybe they are still appropriate?),
and I was able to install my package.  (After remembering to also
do "apt-get update"!)

Thanks, all.
