Once again Debian has no updates. Is there any reason for this to happen?

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Ove Kaaven, the Debian maintainer of wine,

I was assuming he meant the Debian binaries on www.winehq.org, which are built by Scott Ritchie, not by me. (There's already 0.9.60 in the official Debian unstable repository (sid) - it takes a while for packages in unstable to propagate into testing, of course, but testing users would know that.)

The last week, I also happen to have been working on preparing the official Debian packages for team-maintenance, so they won't always depend on my own spare time.

The packaging structure of Scott's packages and mine are quite different, by the way; they follow the Ubuntu-style packaging, not the current Debian style. And I personally feel that his packaging might work fine for Ubuntu, but less so for Debian; Debian has always had its own way to do things (and those ways aren't always about making popular decisions or following the wishes of whoever wrote their software)...
