[Wine] Ubuntu users need to stop using the sourceforge apt
repository

The WineHQ APT repository at sourceforge is now officially obsolete - it
was slow, would time out frequently, and could only handle one version
of a package at a time.
If you have one of the following lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list,
you need to remove it:
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt binary/
deb-src deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt source/
Instead, use one of the following two lines:
For Ubuntu Dapper (6.06):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main
For Ubuntu Breezy (5.10):
deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main
deb-src http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt breezy main
Budgetdedicated.com has nicely provided us with the new APT repository,
which has a ton of bandwidth and allows for different distributions, as
well as more obvious upgrading (to go from breezy to dapper, simply
change the word breezy to dapper just as you would with the official
repositories).
Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
