Thank you for the review.

I do not mind, for all I need is the stable release. However, I'm not
the one who packaged wine in the first place. Maybe its author has
a different use case.

Anyway, the patch implements the less invasive solution. We can also
apply it for now and settle on the next stable release, whenever it
happens. Note that we have other packages in the same situation (e.g.,
lilypond).

Regards,
