As far as Launchpad is concerned, I don't understand why you're using it in the
first place. The old Ubuntu Wine PPA is not only still available, when you
google "ubuntu wine ppa" that repository is the first result. Because of that,
we have users who mistake that for the "official" repository and end up on the
forum asking why their package manager keeps telling them some old version of
Wine is the latest available. From a user support standpoint, I would MUCH
prefer everything to be on dl.winehq.org.

Is it possible to simply create an archive directory on dl.winehq.org and put
the old Ubuntu/Debian packages there? Even if users have to download the
packages manually and install them from their local drive, that's better than
not having them available at all.
