Well, if you want you can always manually download and verify the the packages.

1) Find list of applicable binary packages, for example by taking a look at https://packages.debian.org/source/wheezy/apt

2) Download http://security.debian.org/dists/wheezy/updates/InRelease, and verify the gpg signature against the archive signing key, found in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg alt. in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/*.gpg

3) Download http://security.debian.org/dists/wheezy/updates/main/binary-..., and verify that its sha256 sum matches what you have in your previously downloaded InRelease file.

4 Inside the downloaded Packages.bz2 you'll find the relative paths as well as the sha256 sums of the packages you want to download.

If nothing else this is a good exercise to see how the different pieces fit together.
