I don't expect it to. What I would prefer is a URL that makes it perfectly
clear which repository is the official WineHQ one. "dl.winehq.org" does that;
"https://launchpad.net/~wine/+archive/ubuntu/wine-builds" doesn't.

I figured that, which is why I never brought it up before. Dealing with the
confusion over the PPAs is a minor annoyance. But if Launchpad is truly the
only reason we don't have old packages available for Ubuntu users, I consider
that a significant problem. 

That brings me back to my question about creating an archive here, which you
haven't commented on. Scott did maintain a package archives for old Ubuntu Wine
packages at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/binary/, so I think Ubuntu
users are already perfectly capable of downloading and installing packages from
outside Launchpad.
