--- Comment #14 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- (In reply to Otto Leipälä from comment #13)
If stable is provided to all distros it should be different named package if somebody wan't to downgrade winehq-devel or wine-staging to pure wine stable or install only wine stable.
Stable packages aren't being provided to all distros: there are none for Debian and Ubuntu. This bug is ONLY about the packages missing from the Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
As for the 1.8.x Fedora, Mageia, and MacOSX package names, I happen to agree with you, but that's irrelevant to this bug. File a separate bug for that if it's important to you.
