If a new version of Wine gets installed and it gets started a window is shown that the wine configuration gets updated which does eventually ask to download some components. Maybe there could be an option that does not show this dialog at all. Questions about downloading a specific component should then be maybe handled as if the user would click "Cancel".
The download dialog only appears when a new version of wine-gecko or wine-mono is needed. If it is silently canceled, the user will end up with a broken wineprefix without any indication of what went wrong.
