Full ACK!
I run tons of Linux distros, to get a DAW and if I use a third party
repository or compile myself, than I (hopefully ;) know what I do. I've
got personal problems with e.g. some developers for Debian Multimedia,
however, they aren't bad, they know what they're doing and they do a
trustful, good job (even if I sometimes disagree ;) and of course, if
multimedia isn't head for your importance, don't add this repo to your
repos. I can't speak for wine, since wineasio is crap and I usually
don't need wine, resp., to run fucking iTunes I anyway need to run
VBox :(.
However, Debian stable is Debian stable is Debian stable with all it's
advantages and drawbacks. The sentence "Rose is a rose is a rose is a
rose." was written by Gertrude Stein

perhaps he background isn't very trustful;).
