If it's just for development I don't think this justifies changing
it. You could simply use your own Wine build and then it will ignore the
one in /usr/lib/wine, or configure a drive for your development dir.

The first one is not /usr/lib/wine, it's wherever the Wine install has
been relocated too. That's how rpath works, and it's very much
intentional.
