A few things:

1) This is a proper bug against the winehq website, as we need to update our
download page to give Mint users a workaround for its dumb behavior (or just
add a Mint download section).  I'll deal with that, as I've been on and off
working on the downloads page.
2) I've renamed the PPA in question to "Wine Team PPA" -- when I originally
made it so many years ago, the naming scheme was more about the content of the
packages then about who provided them, and at the time Wine was unpatched.
3) Please subscribe me to bugs like this; while I don't do C code I am still
active with the project :)  I am "downstream" as a packager but my intent is
always to work with everyone here.
4) Packaging bugs are bugs and we cannot reasonably expect users to know the
difference.  This is one reason why Launchpad was built, so Ubuntu could
intercept bugs that might be packaging bugs and have them go through a filter
(me) before heading upstream, but Mint doesn't direct users to launchpad.
