There are now some bureaucratic issues regading wine package, because this, Debian 6.0 was released with an old Wine version. Now some people is starting to work into resuming the wine packaging work in Debian. Ideally a newer wine version should be packaged to debian-backports for stable, but by the moment you can see if these packages work for you: http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/ They are made by a Debian developer as I know.
