There was some chatter recently about the various dependencies that wine 
brings in, so I did some build tests on 10.5/i386/latest everything in 
unstable.

The gcc44 dependency doesn't seem to be needed (anymore?).  I built 
wine-1.3.14 w/ and w/out gcc44 and the build logs were identical, as 
were the size of all the files inside the resulting debs.

I also removed fontforge, and this made no difference in the resulting 
wine build.  According to ./configure , fontforge is only needed to 
"rebuild fonts in maintainer mode" if "--enable-maintainer-mode" is 
enabled in ConfigureParams.

So those two dependencies (and their large dependency trees) can 
probably be removed (assuming the tests also hold true on 10.4/* and 
10.6/*) from wine in the unstable tree.
