Almost all Wine users are Debian users.
No, most wine users aren't you. IOW that's an assertion without any evidence.
Would it be possible to get a 9.0 release in the Debian Bullseye repository, since Bullseye is a LTS release?
wine devs have no control over Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/RedHat/etc. repositories; as their names suggest, those are *distro* repos.
That's right -- they're not me. I'm not millions of people. Wow, that's such a revelation. Check out the Linux market share on the itsfoss website, and you'll see that more Linux users use some variant of Debian than anything else. Quit picking a fight for no reason at all.
I realize the wine developers do not control the Debian, Ubuntu, Raspian or any other Debian variant repository. Bullseye is a very common release right now that many people use, and the fact that Wine does not work very well in this particular release is very unsettling for the Linux community as a whole, in my opinion. Many people want to use Linux, exclusively, yet have one or two pieces of software which prevent them from being able to. While not a panacea, Wine is so fundamental to many users' workflows that ignoring problems in the Bullseye repositories is a mistake, in my opinion.
