I'm not sure, but that may be related to bug 27706.
Not at first sight. Bug 27706 mentions not adding entries to the Wine (I suppose) Menu. I speak of not creating the Wine menu altogether in the first place. Executing winecfg does not create it. I installed all my Wine (small) applications by installing DEBs and the menu entries supposed to go to the Wine menu went to Other instead. As soon as my hack created the Wine menu, those entries moved to it.
BTW, are you promoting converting setup.exe to setup.deb/setup.rpm packages? There are many, many good reasons to do so. Those DEbs were converted by the packager sitting in here ;-) But there are pitfalls that could easily be worked around with a suggestion I have in mind, rather simple to implement I hope. Should I suggest? Also, I think that WineHQ should host such tested, repackaged DEBs and rpm (including for example Picasa and its hacks of abandoned later versions). This would fit very nicely in the AppDB framework ("this one is here") and encourage people to port more winapps.
