Bug ID: 39884
           Summary: .exe files no longer run directly when using the new
                    wine-builds PPA packages (linux binfmts not installed)
           Product: Packaging
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-packages
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org

      Distribution: ---
For years, and until very recently, winehq.org recommended packages from the
ubuntu-wine PPA for Ubuntu users.  Those packages install linux binfmts
support, which allows .exe files to be run directly instead of having to run
"wine programname.exe".  This is not merely a convenience; it is also helpful
for security because it allows each Windows program to be run with different
AppArmor profile.
After switching to the packages from the new official wine-builds PPA, this
functionality is gone.  Please bring it back!
