Hi,

upon investigation, this was a deficiency in the dependency resolver
used on the build host. Somehow it preferred installing the
wheezy-backports version of libjson-c-dev when the plain wheezy
version of libjson0-dev would have worked as well.

Build-Depends: [...]
 libjson-c-dev | libjson0-dev (>= 0.9~),

I've worked around this by removing libjson-c-dev from the wheezy
source. I've just promoted an updated postgis version that includes
this fix.
