Of course it didn't.  /etc/ld.so.conf contains directories where the
dynamic linker will look to resolve library references.  It has nothing
to do with finding a binary to exec.

/usr/bin is normally in the path, so that symbolic link makes the
wineserver accessible in the path.  That works.  You could also add
/opt/bin/wine to the path, but I don't feel like writing a treatise on
shell initialization just now.  Read man bash or the man page for
whatever shell you use if you want to know about it.
