Maybe the /usr/share/doc/wine/changelog.Debian.gz offers answers? I first
decided to use winelauncher that way (to wrap wine) in 0.0.20010112-1.
Previous debian packages didn't wrap wine like that.

In my packaging of the new wine release (should be out on winehq and the
debian ftp sites shortly), I've patched winelauncher so launching winelib
stuff like notepad should now work without needing any parameters.
