Assuming "debug" messages are fixmes, you can use:
wine --debugmsg fixme-all,err-all -- wordpad.exe
This is better (IMHO) than redirecting the messages to /dev/null,
because generating those messages can eat up significant processing
power (if there are a lot of them). The method above does not generate
the messages at all.
I have an alias set to filter the fixmes (normally I like to see err
messages) so that I don't have to type that out:
alias win 'wine --debugmsg fixme-all --'
So now I can just type "win /c/Program\ Files/Accessories/wordpad".
Also, for programs that I use semi-regularly, I create a small
executable in /usr/local/bin, such as an executable file named "word"
that contains (all one line):
exec wine --debugmsg fixme-all -- c:/Program\ Files/Microsoft\
Office/Office/winword.exe $*
