Well i noticed this problem in Mint 13 and 14. The PPA instructions on the
Ubuntu page would work fine, but mint's distribution codename (i.e. maya and
nadia) rather than the ubuntu's codename (i.e. precise and quantal) is being
added. This is not an isolated issue for the wine PPA, this is for all PPAs
added through the software sources gui or terminal. I've tested the ubuntu PPA
instructions on Mint 15 and 16 and it work correctly.

Maybe a simple addition to the ubuntu page stating that these instructions also
work for Linux Mint 15 and above would be useful. And then providing
instructions for Mint 13 users, that they should use `deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu precise main` in the gui and
`sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu
precise main"` in the terminal. As Mint 14 is no supported, i'm not sure if
instructions should be added for it.
