The tarballs on WineHQ are newer than the sources packages from Sid.
The Sid wine is 0.9.30, the WineHQ is 0.9.32, exact what the differences
are I cannot tell you.  As to if Dreamweaver runs better on one version
or the other I also cannot tell you. I don't use wine.  If I were going
to do it, I would use the ones from wine hq, otherwise I would just do
apt-get install wine and get the binary from the repository.  There is
no reason I can see to build the deb-src if one already runs Sid.
