             Bug #: 34299
           Summary: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu incorrectly
                    identifies the Ubuntu PPA as WineHQ's
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dimesio at earthlink.net
    Classification: Unclassified


That page states: 

"Ubuntu's default repository includes Wine, however if you want to stay up to
date with the latest Wine package you can use WineHQ's by following these
instructions."

That wording leads users to believe that the PPA is under the control of WineHQ
when it is not. As a result, bugs don't get reported promptly to the package
maintainer and users expect support on the forum for any problem they may have
installing Wine packages. When told otherwise, many choose to argue, pointing
to the wording on that page. I can't really blame them.
