Adobe Premiere is currently at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=128 but it'd be so slick to see instead http://appdb.winehq.org/adobe/premiere
That's relatively easy to do with mod_rewrite. But it would have to be something like:
http://appdb.winehq.org/app/128/adobe-premiere.html
All the info is still in the URL (which mod_rewrite can extract), but it does look less scary.
Not quite good enough. People need to be able to guess the URL. We should be able to look up 'adobe-premiere' and get '128'. So maybe http://appdb.winehq.org/app/adobe-premiere.html

I don't think that would work all that well. As-is AppDB having all sorts of problem with it's search function. You want to break all the links as well? Granted having all the links as some ID to some cryptic script is even worse.
If you want the link to be a application's name, how about games with a huge long name? Like "Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars 1.x". Is that easier to enter? I don't think so.
IMHO just fixing the search and getting rid of all those banners in the search results would be much more helpful.
And while we are on the AppDB topic can someone finally add pages or add at least one usable threads display mode? Any application with more then 10 posts is impossible to read! And god forbid a thread having 5 replays - then it's unusable at all regardless how you looking at it.
