Yes, and I'm working on getting mingw-w64 into unstable; see the
debian-gcc archives for details of the problems I'm facing just now
(although there's a quick workaround if I can't get things working
properly).

Ove already has wine/wine-unstable packages, so that's already what is
planned. Note that 1.3.16 uses wine-gecko 1.2.0 which uses very
different packaging compared to 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, so wine 1.2.2 is the
current focus... I'm not sure though that allowing wine-unstable into
testing would be a good idea, since testing is the next stable and I'm
not sure we'd want to ship wine-unstable in stable.
