Hmm, wine depends on libwine and recommends wine-utils. Since most people 
install "recommends" as well (aptitude does this), what would be those "many 
other packages" that are essential for a full featured wine?
Maybe it's not clear to the Debian packager that they should be 
in "recommends" or at least "suggests".
