IMHO, a link to our own Wiki should be placed on the download-deb page
http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-56206e8bc74083807ffe06ccb471d3f964cb...
And as a Note on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/I386WineInAmd64 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WineForAMD64
The provided automatic installation script includes the sidenet-script. Please include a BIG WARNING, that this is never supported by winehq and the users need a clean wine, before they ask for help on #winehq or wine-users@winehq.org
You mention sidenet on that page: "If you followed the manual instructions you need to install the Sidenet script" This is wrong. Please remove that line!
Even, when the sidenet-script might help some users to run an app, "you need to install the Sidenet script" is wrong!
I still see that information listed on the mentioned page. I was hopping we could get some useful information for Ubuntu-64 users. I guess not. I will discourage anyone from referring to the above mentioned page because it has sedenet script as a "requirement". It's the same stuff as winetools and _brakes_ default Wine configuration.

I just fixed it to make it better. I have half a mind to delete all mention of sidenet from the page entirely.
I'll change the link to a page on our wiki with the same info and resend.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
