If wine-c is stored uncompressed, it's easier for a site admin to modify
it for all its users.

As for the "official=vanilla", unless there's some QA before each
release, there'll always be a need for last minute patches in binary
packages. See regedit not importing files in 20030813, or the openssl
FAR usage we had on Fedora a few weeks ago.

Also, there are a couple places in Wine which are dependant on how the
underlying distribution is setup, things like menu entries and such. Not
every distro ship a vanilla Gnome or KDE (and then there are many
versions of each).
