What bugs are they talking about with wine?
I only saw one marked as grave:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133540&repeatmerged=yes
but this one looks worth responding to, too:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=98661&repeatmerged=yes
It might be good for wine developers who like debian to have a look at
the debian bug tracking system. The main problem appears to be being
addressed, but a little overkill never hurt.
