Exclamation Can't install gnome-tweak-tool


I'm using Debian Wheezy, whenever i do "sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool" it just installs way too many packages. It said:

Need to get 461 MB of archives.
After this operation, 707 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

With like 500 lines of packages to install. Did I do something wrong with my sources.list file? I've Googled this problem way too much and couldn't find anything, any help is appreciated.

Any particular reason why you're still using Wheezy?
I'm on Jessie and if I try the same I get;
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 gir1.2-soup-2.4 gnome-shell-common mutter-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 gir1.2-soup-2.4 gnome-shell-common gnome-tweak-tool mutter-common
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,621 kB of archives.
After this operation, 11.5 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
