experience with Debian Wheezy is that lo "goes down" a lot, so this is one of the first things I do when odd stuff happens.
Use a better operating system then, I've used at work and home, suse, opensuse, rhel, centos, slackware and fedora, and never in my all my years of linux (I've used it since I was 14 and am mid twenties now) has loopback ever *gone away* unless i deliberately made it so.
And the same goes for Debian.
I have never in the last 16 years "lost" a loopback device out of the blue.
If your lo "goes down" a lot, then there is something suspicious at foot and this need to be investigated. This is not normal Debian behavior.
