According to https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine-Staging
Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org. It contains bug fixes and features, which have not been integrated into the development branch yet. The idea of Wine Staging is to provide experimental features faster to end users and to give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before they are integrated into the main branch.

Adding instable and experimental software does not fit into Ubuntu's policies.

If you want to have these packages on your system, then you have to install them from winehq or other repositories, see e.g. https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Can you help with this problem?
