Thanks for this reward to my efforts for the sake of Wine.
Regarding Mint, I praise their job, but I do not appreciate them sticking their
name on Ubuntu's and Debian's.
I did not install their DVD, but I installed their mate-meta-* packages onto
Ubuntu.  Even more unfair to meet this problem that way.  Surprisingly, I found
the result better regarding choice of options and compatibility with my habits.
That's the only way I think Mint should be distributed. If all distros did it
that way, we would have a single system we could call Linux and that could
stand the competition.
And particularly in that context, changing the system's name is a bug: indecent
and contrary to its own interest.
Regarding Launchpad, I introduced 2 Mint 12 bugs.  They are still Mint 13 bugs.
One is extremely difficult to solve: the xterm command is missing (preventing
some installers).  Except when Mint is installed my way. See?

Don't forget the second part of my original text.
It's an even more annoying "feature".  Packaging or not?
I may reintroduce it separately.
But only if you tell me where beforehand ;-)
