Wine's Staging branch is miles ahead of standard Wine in terms of both performance and features. You can install the latest Staging releases on Debian just as easily as the default version and get the latest updates as soon as they're released.

I have less luck in this regard. On a fresh Debian 10 install, i get:

root@WS01:~# apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done

It seems like you have debian testing. Change deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main to deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ bullseye main in wine.list. For me, I had to create this file because it didn’t exist. And I could only do that with sudo nautilus

Followed your comment and it fixed the issue just to be replaced with
E: Unable to locate package winehq-staging
