If you want, you or someone else could help by checking the Debian bugs on the package though; I don't know which bugs have been fixed in a later Wine release, nor did I ever get around to figure out the best way to forward such bugs to the used-to-be-rather-unorganized way of handling bugs (the one bug (which should be simple since it came with a patch) I did try to forward to wine-devel a year and a half ago had still not been resolved last time I looked). So, since I've been a little lazy about those bugs, I've been thinking about delegating responsibility for that to someone else, at a minimum. I haven't yet felt in need of filing a RFA or anything yet, though... (and the most recent package is 0.0.20021031-1, uploaded a couple of days ago)
