Add up-to-date download page for Debian
I incorporated all of Jens' suggestions, plus tweaked the language to sound better in a few places and gave the HTML more space to breathe. The 2nd patch in the series should still be fine without any changes.

Here are instructions and hints for installing +your preferred version of Wine, the Debian way.... +</p> + + +<h2>For 32-Bit Debian</h2> + +<p> +So long as your package system is configured correctly and +up-to-date, grabbing Wine should be simple, whether you use Debian +<i>stable</i>, <i>testing</i>, or <i>unstable</i>. On <b>32-bit</b> +Debian, you can install a stable release of Wine with a single +<i>apt-get</i> command: +</p> + +<pre>sudo apt-get install wine</pre> + +<p> +Starting with Debian Jessie (release 8.0), there is also a package of +Wine's development release that can be installed alongside the stable +release: +</p> + +<pre>sudo apt-get install wine-development</pre> + +<p> +Note that you currently need to use the command +'<b>wine-development</b>' instead of '<b>wine</b>' to run the +development version from the command-line. +</p> + +<p> +You should be able to closely track upstream with the +"wine-development" package. While the version on <i>stable</i> will only +upgrade with each major Debian release, current packages for users on +<i>stable</i> will be regularly available from +<a href="http://backports.debian.org/" + target="_new">Debian Backports</a> (see below for details). + +Similarly, the packages in <i>testing</i> and <i>unstable</i> won't be +updated while Debian is in its biennial code-freeze. Advanced users that +<i>really</i> need a packaged, cutting-edge version of Wine during those +months can still find it in +<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental" + target="_new">Debian <i>experimental</i></a>. +</p> + + +<h2>On 64-Bit Debian</h2> + +<p> +Even if your system uses <b>64-bit</b> Debian, you probably still +want a Wine installation that can run 32-bit Windows applications. To +install 32-bit application support, just make sure your system is +configured to pull in 32-bit packages and the index is updated +first: +</p> + +<pre> +sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 +sudo apt-get update +sudo apt-get install wine-development +</pre> + +<p>Starting with Debian Stretch, you can also install Wine on 64-bit ARM +systems:</p> + +<pre> +sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf +sudo apt-get update +sudo apt-get install wine-development +</pre> + + +<h2>Debian Backports</h2> + +<p> +If you are on <i>stable</i> and want a newer version of +"wine-development", starting with Debian Jessie, you can grab a version +in sync with upstream from Debian Backports. To install it, you need to +enable the Backports repo first by adding the following line to one of +your <i>sources.list</i> files: +</p> + +<pre> +deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie-backports main +</pre> + +<p> +You can do this either through Synaptic + (<b>Settings -> Repositories -> Other Software -> Add</b>) +or by editing the <i>sources.list</i> file directly + ('<b>sudo editor /etc/apt/sources.list</b>'). +Then once you've added your sources, update your package index + (<b>Reload</b> in Synaptic or '<b>sudo apt-get update</b>' on the + command-line). +</p> + +<p> +If you don't mind possibly upgrading other dependencies to Backports +versions too, you can install everything from the command-line in one +swoop: +</p> + +<pre>sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports wine-development</pre> + +<p>If you want to be more selective about keeping <i>stable</i> +dependencies though, you can use the form:</p> + +<pre>sudo apt-get install wine-development/jessie-backports</pre> + +<p> +However, if any other packages need to be installed or updated, this +method will abort with a list of such packages. You can selectively +install those from either <i>stable</i> or Backports, then repeat the +command to install "wine-development/jessie-backports". +</p> + + +<h2>More Information</h2> + +<p>For more info, you can see the Debian package site:</p> + +<ul><li> +<a href="https://packages.debian.org/wine" + target="_new">wine</a> (stable release) +</li> + +<li> +<a href="https://packages.debian.org/wine-development" + target="_new">wine-development</a> (development release) +</li></ul> + +<p>There are also useful wiki pages out there too:</p> + +<ul><li> +<a href="http://wiki.winehq.org/Debian" + target="_new">Debian on the Wine Wiki</a> +</li> + +<li> +<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Wine" + target="_new">Wine on the Debian Wiki</a> +</li></ul>
