Just to head this discussion off at the tip: I _am_ the Ubuntu Wine team Upstream is not interested in breakages caused by us that only affect us In short, we as a project made this mess, and I need to clean it up. I'll try and bang out a Wine lens prototype for UDS. As noted before, it would be ideal if Wine apps were just like Ubuntu apps (no separate uninstallers, viewable from software center, went into the traditional sections rather than off somewhere in Wine land), but this can't be the case for arbitrary apps downloaded off the internet or installed by CD. If the user uses a special tool like winetricks to install an app, we can do something helpful. If the application developer repackages the app properly (I'll demo one of these as well), then we can also do something helpful. Otherwise we're gonna look like we're a different system trying to be compatible, cause that's what we are.
