Source: wine-development
Version: 5.6-2
Severity: serious
wine-development has already missed the deadline for bullseye,
but IMHO this is a good thing and it should be removed from Debian.
There is only limited value in having the ancient development
release 4.2 in buster today, users would have benefitted more
from wine 5.0 in buster-backports when it entered testing
in January 2020.
bullseye users would also benefit more from wine 6.0 in
bullseye-backports than they would have from
wine-development 5.5 or 5.6 in bullseye.
For development purposes the normal way to maintain development
releases would be a version of wine in experimental.

The wine packages are co-installable, so it is useful to keep the
development version as a separate package.
The future plan is to no longer include this package in stable
releases. I've now made that clear with #988246. It may go into
fasttrack if someone cares to do that.
Best wishes,
Mike
