Hard to say, but in my experience, wine will work with a particular
program fine for several versions, then break (partially or completely)
for a version or two, then work again.
In any case it is possible to up-to-date debs from here:
http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
They have an etch version now, and it is possible to use the Ubuntu
versions on Debian - I am using Sid with the Ubuntu Gutsy wine debs.
Even when the main Debian Wine has been up-to-date, I have had
better luck with the above-mentioned version.
Cheers,
Kelly
