           Summary: Debian Trixie: wine-devel package lacks ntsync support

The WineHQ packaged wine-devel 10.20 for Debian 13 "Trixie" lacks ntsync
support, because Trixie's LTS kernel 6.12 predates the ntsync merge and thus
ntsync.h is missing. However, trixie-backports currently ships Linux 6.17 with
ntsync [1]. Alternatively, the ntsync kernel module is trivial to build with
DKMS [2].

While retrofitting kernel-side ntsync is easy on Trixie, adding it to wine
itself requires building from source. Wine users would benefit from
ntsync-ready WineHQ binary packages, as they would facilitate ntsync access.
This would only require including ntsync.h when building the WineHQ packages
for Trixie.
