It seems there is no end to how far will packagers go to brake Wine by trying to make it better
I thought it's been fixed a long time ago, but it seems not. Wine packages for Debian split important Wine parts into separate packages: - wine - fonts, few not essential programs, symlinks and _premade_ content of ~/.wine directory (with ~/.wine/c as default c: drive)!!! - libwine - all the builtin dlls - wine-utils:(explorer, winecfg, winepath, cmd.exe, iexplore, winedbg) and many other packages.
Hmm, wine depends on libwine and recommends wine-utils. Since most people install "recommends" as well (aptitude does this), what would be those "many other packages" that are essential for a full featured wine? Maybe it's not clear to the Debian packager that they should be in "recommends" or at least "suggests".
