I can see where this would be useful for building on some platforms, but doesn't "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" work fine (for the most part) for Ubuntu?
The last time I compiled on a fresh *buntu, I recall using build-dep and then having to install one nvidia-specific '-dev' package to get DirectX support working. I think it was nvidia-glx-177-dev; Until it added some headers or whatnot, ./configure insisted it was going to build without DirectX.
As far as specific tweaks: on Intrepid Ibex I don't believe x-dev or qt3-dev-tools are required. X-dev's a transitional package only dependent on x11proto-core-dev, which is already in your list. I don't have qt3-dev-tools installed (and everything compiles/runs clean).

I have in the past written one script per version of Ubuntu to install Wine's build dependencies. Many versions on, that's getting old, and I figure it'd be better to have a single script that handles all common versions on Linux.
I've taken a first stab at that, combining my scripts for gutsy and hardy, and adding ibex. The result is at http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
If anyone wants to add support to that script for another OS, please do, and send me the patch.
I'd like to see this in the wine tree sometime. It's kind of silly we have to direct people to a big, confusing wiki page (or set of them) to explain how to install the needed packages; let's just have a unified script and be done with it.
