I have read that post originally, it explained well why you created the packages but not why they are not simply merged into Debian. As I understand it now, you are neutral about their inclusion, i.e. there is no technical reason the packages couldn't be uploaded to Debian until Ove's version is ready, but you aren't interested in investing your personal time in this effort?

I am rather dazzled that while there is working source package of wine-1.5 ready, other people are working on gradually packaging wine-1.1.x releases; I don't quite follow the reasoning behind that except Ove's mention of "QA resons". Also, it seems the current direction of that discussion is still to make the package "perfect" first and upload it then rather than vice versa, which seems unfortunate to me, but I'm still glad that there is a recent surge of activity!
