There's great appetite for anything wine-related in Debian, as I can see from visitor numbers, so here's how to build Wine 1.4.1 and Wine 1.5.6 in Debian Testing/Wheezy. Enough talking -- let's get compilin'!
The builds take a little while, so be warned. Not all features are enabled in this particular build either -- see the configure output.
If you're interested in the missing development files seen below, this post might help: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/cross-compiling-eg-32-bit-binaries-on.html. Instinctively, I am suspicious as to whether that would work. I haven't explored it though, and my chief motivation is to make build instructions which anyone can easily follow and reproduce.
UPDATE (10th Jan 2013): See here for Wine 1.5.21 using the multiarch approach: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/308-compiling-wine-1521-on-debian.html
