This version is already rather ancient according to upstream's release schedule. It was released on September 13, 2006, closely followed by version 0.9.22 on September 28, 2006 and version 0.9.23 on October 25, 2006. The current version 0.9.24 was released on October 29, 2006 and is already more than two weeks olds as i'm writing this. Why don't you simply package the latest release of wine instead of always lagging various sub releases behind? Sure, prior testing before submitting new packages to the ebian archive is a very good thing. But why don't you simply do this with the most current release instead of lagging four generations behind? Given the ultimately quite fast pace of wine development, i'm pretty sure upstream would rather prefer bug reports for the current release instead of older versions. Bugs reported for older releases might already be taken care of in the current release and would probably not be very helpful in first place. Why not support upstream by releasing their most current version to the public? In any case, thanks for packaging wine for Debian! Other than what i'm trying to complain about in a constructive way, i'm very happy with your incredible contribution!
