[Bug 33549] Wine download page Ubuntu instructions do not work on Mint 13 MATE

--- Comment #30 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net> ---
My understanding (Scott, correct me if I'm wrong) is that "flavor" vs.
"derivative" is an official distinction made by Ubuntu. The instructions on our
site should be consistent with Ubuntu policy, and the patch I submitted
addresses that by changing "derivatives" to "flavors" in the page heading and
first paragraph in addition to adding the warning I suggested in comment 27. 

Since Mint is a derivative, not a flavor, the instructions on that page were
never meant to apply to them. The error, as I see it, was in not making that
clear, and that's what my patch aims to correct. 

OTOH, a much simpler solution would be to eliminate the page altogether and
have the link on the main Downloads page lead directly to
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa. There's nothing on the
Ubuntu download page that isn't documented elsewhere.
