Because your distro is old. You'll have to compile Wine yourself. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages for list of required packages.

Could you elaborate on that?

Packages are produced by volunteers for the distros. No one has volunteered for Debian since the last maintainer stepped down.

Wheezy is not old, it's the current testing (next stable). So he's actually
too far ahead.

By bad. Regardless if there are no binaries available - he should compile himself from source.

I know that this post is a few months old, but I'd also like to add that the wine1.2 and wine1.3 packages from Ubuntu Natty work fine with Squeeze (I haven't tried them with Wheezy).

http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/wine1.2
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/wine1.3

Just download the appropriate package from the link at the bottom of the page, depending on if you want wine 1.2.3 or 1.3.15, and install it with dpkg.

You also get the added bonus of the Steam overlay working correctly. The packages must have been compiled with gcc 4.5.

You can try that, it works on mine, I also have wheezy

the debian testing version:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install wine-bin:i386
