As I suggest here [1], a page on the wiki dedicated to packagers would be nice,
to warn about all these issues, and maybe also list some patches/workarounds
that might be interesting for end users.

With the modular /etc/security/limits.d/, the wine package could install its
own limits there (or, for those distros with low nofile limit, add a
wine-nofile-fix package with that file).
