Hi,

I think I misunderstood your question. If you're worried about getting the latest snapshot/unstable release etc, then you're best bet is to play in git or building source releases as they're released.

It's more a matter of "dependency hell" in the stable Debian version. Stable Debian dependency libs usually don't keep up with cutting-edge devel releases like Wine. And yes, that'd require building Wine from source.

IMHO, wine is a dish best served fresh. Improvements are made quickly in wine so distro's aren't able to keep up. I suppose if you want your distro to worry bout these things SourceMage or Gentoo might be the freshest? Don't quote me on that though.

For what you're asking, you're better off just building releases as they come out by hand or just rebuilding a git checkout as you go.
