Is this OK to everyone, because the guys don't think they should replicate MS
particular version of brain damage in this case without breakage to other
things?

1) Download wine source (can be your package maintainer's)
2) Patch Wine with Anastasius' patch:

3) make/Install from source
4) Run OfficeXP installation
5) Back out the patch & make/install, or reload your distribution's wine.
