This seems to be the version we are distributing via our debian 
apt-repository. Have a look at http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/binary/

You should bring your concerns to Joachim von Thadden's or Sven Paschukat's 
attention. If they fix them, we can keep the link to winetools. If they 
prefer not to fix them, we can explain to them why we think this is a problem 
for wine's development progress and thus give a rational for removing the 
link.

Merry Christmas (or if you prefer, Happy Holidays ;)
