You can "pin" your debian on Wheezy for Dia, but expect a lot of 
unattended upgrades
or, at option add Wheezy as "source"

in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main [contrib] [non-free]

 -> fr mirror, see mirrors page for your nearest
then simply
# aptitude update
# apt-get install build-essentials
# apt-get build-dep dia
# apt-get source dia
# cd dia_* && dpkg-buildpackage -r fakeroot

In most case this will fit your current debian version for any package, 
for exception the ones needs for new libraries didn't packed yet in your 
current version. Build dependencies are less restrictive on versions.

As I can see, Python interpreter is a Dia built-in in Wheezy, while I 
didn't make tests.
