I wasn't suggesting that. My thought was that users would click on the search results link to whatever version of Debian they were using. It's fine if they do that from the stable page; my one concern is that because the stable package is so out-of-date, some users might jump to the conclusion that that's true for all versions, and not even check.
This is the root of the issue. How do Debian Stable users get the latest version of Wine that is built specifically for them?
AFAICT, they don't. Debian seems to only build the latest version for testing and unstable. But I don't really know my way around the Debian site, so I may have missed something glaringly obvious.
That's correct, wine is 1.6.2 in Jessie, or wine-development is 1.7.29: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wine https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wine-development
