This is printed by the Wine binary and the development libraries and headers are not needed for running Wine. Such a message should instead be printed by the configure script if it detects that FreeType libraries or headers are missing.
Actually, the development libraries *are* needed, though the headers are not. This is because the dlopen tries to load "libfreetype.so", NOT "libfreetype.so.6". And, at least on Debian, only the dev package provides the libfreetype.so symlink, the library package itself only contains libfreetype.so.6. (This issue is Debian bug #146136.)
Ah, thanks for enlightening us ! :-)
(that's probably what prompted me to add this message in the first place)
As it's probably only a Debian specific bug (or isn't it ?), I think changing the message to include devel stuff is still wrong, though... (as having devel stuff usually isn't required)
