Hi,
Let me know if they work. I've just finished the PCLinuxOS 2007 one and would be
glad to modify and host a script tuned for Debian.
Anyone else wishing for a distribution specific build script, let me know.
Note that I'm not doing git check outs for installing. I'll only supply scripts
to build the latest release. I'll try and keep it up to date, no later than 2
releases.

You can try one of Dan's scripts. Even though they're for Ubuntu, it might work.
For Debian Etch, you'll probably want something like Dan's Dapper script, found here: http://kegel.com/wine/dapper.sh
I give no guarantees that it will work, but its worth a shot.
I'd missed that work, hadn't realised Dan had done these scripts. Perfect starting point and, hopefully, not too dissimilar.
I'll post back some experience. Zac, thanks for the link.

If you're willing to wait a bit, I will put Debian Etch/Lenny/Sid on my list of distros to build a dependency script for.
Zac, that really would be great, and popular, too, I'll bet.
I'm up for just trying anyway, using that Dapper script as a guide. I thought I might cross-check what it does (if I can deduce that) with the guidance in the Wine notes page. You just learn more, having a go, even when it ends in tears. And when it does, I'll have a second shot, with your scripts. Actually, I'd like to run them anyway if you do them, and let you know how straightforward it seemed. I've two machines I can try it on, so I'll leave one untouched for now.
Thanks again for the suggestions. And what a useful thread, all down to Stephen for asking in the first place.
regards, Island
