Ubuntu and openSUSE only offer the latest development release in their Wine repositories.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wine&searchon=names&suite...
I wonder how you could have imagine they'd submit their user to unstable versions?
Hardy is supported for 3 years, that's still 2 years and a half. Intrepid is going to be supported for 18 month, jaunty will be the same (and it's not even released).
Thing is, for wine developers there's already bugzilla. AppDB is for users, and most of them are using the stable releases.
Breakage happens between different unstable releases, and a distribution that pushes new unstable packages every two weeks would seriously need to rethink it's goal.
If you consider wine as a glorified xmame, that would be ok. Please bear in mind it's also use in businesses and for professional applications.
