Awesome that packages are provided. Do you know anyone at Ubuntu to get those incorporated into the stable distro?
I don't think Ubuntu still has its own maintainer for the Wine packages, although I'm not entirely sure. Presumably Ubuntu just uses the Debian packages.
We do have some of the Debian packagers on the wine-devel mailing list. AFAIK Debian packages Wine 1.8.7 and Wine 2.0 for stretch (testing) and jessie-backports. Those are the current stable and previous stable releases, which I think is reasonable. As for not providing packages for the current development releases, I suspect that comes down to a combination of manpower, policy and WineHQ already providing those packages.
