Full ACK! I run tons of Linux distros, to get a DAW and if I use a third party repository or compile myself, than I (hopefully ;) know what I do. I've got personal problems with e.g. some developers for Debian Multimedia, however, they aren't bad, they know what they're doing and they do a trustful, good job (even if I sometimes disagree ;) and of course, if multimedia isn't head for your importance, don't add this repo to your repos. I can't speak for wine, since wineasio is crap and I usually don't need wine, resp., to run fucking iTunes I anyway need to run VBox :(. However, Debian stable is Debian stable is Debian stable with all it's advantages and drawbacks.
