There is only two options for you if you don't want to upgrade. First, you
can try to compile WINE yourself and see if it helps. And second, you can try
to use ancient WINE versions (as old as your distro); drawback of this option
I think is obvious.
But I personally recommend you to upgrade your Debian. In fact, I see no
reason why not to upgrade even if machine in question is old and slow. Etch
is a lot better than Sarge. At least I like it much more.
