I removed all traces of it from the wine wiki page I set up here, which
the download-deb page should link to now:

I agree with you and Vitaly about this, by the way.

The main problem is that I don't have a 64-bit machine and haven't
tested the instructions myself, but as I understand it if Wine was
compiled with DGA support (as the 32 bit package was) then it would go
nuts if it expected to find the lib and didn't, which the DGA hack was a
workaround for.

But if it can be eliminated entirely that's really good news.

Thanks,
