The Wine PPA isn't required on Ubuntu or similar distros (e.g. Linux Mint).

You just need to make sure that the source repositories (i.e. deb-src) are enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sources.list. (Ubuntu seems to do this automatically.)

Once this is done, you can just enter 'sudo apt-get build-dep wine' in a terminal. Confusion may come from the Recommended Packages wiki page (http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages). The command should be 'wine' not 'wine1.3' or 'wine1.4'.  I'll get a patch for this later today.
