Well with a pretty recent distro, it usually does fine. I have dapper systems at
home that build wine fine and dapper is going on 2 years old now.
Take that to mean what you will. I can tell you from experience that wine builds
well on Debian unstable/testing and Ubuntu's back to Dapper. Beyond that, I
don't know much more than that.

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.
