Bug#987554: wine-development should be replaced with wine in experimental+backports



Source: wine-development
Version: 5.6-2
Severity: serious

wine-development has already missed the deadline for bullseye,
but IMHO this is a good thing and it should be removed from Debian.

There is only limited value in having the ancient development
release 4.2 in buster today, users would have benefitted more
from wine 5.0 in buster-backports when it entered testing
in January 2020.

bullseye users would also benefit more from wine 6.0 in
bullseye-backports than they would have from
wine-development 5.5 or 5.6 in bullseye.

For development purposes the normal way to maintain development
releases would be a version of wine in experimental.
