--- Comment #7 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl --- :sigh:
No. Your chain of reasoning seems to be: most of the people *I* know, that use Linux are Debian users therefore almost all Wine users are Debian users.
What I've said was: such a chain is *deeply* flawed.
The other part was mostly like comment 6: wine's concept 'LTS' is significantly different than most of the standard distros, much less Debian. That's due to its development process - sometimes a few decisions made within a single year may nearly completely overhaul some of implementation details, resulting in major changes to build process, deps, etc. So best you'll get is some minor backports of fixes to the release made at the start of the year, otherwise you'll only have the most recent release...well, unless a SNAFU happens and significant regression slips into the tree, so that you need to skip that particular release - that, unfortunately happens too; fortunately though, it's relatively rare (though this year is somewhat unlucky).
