That's an attractive scenario, but I have run into violent objections from admins when I discuss it. They want the two operations separated out into separate packages; it's simply too surprising to have a simple package that installs an app *also* add a new repository. Now, maybe Wine's a special case, and admins won't complain about it. But I wouldn't bet money on that. - Dan
