Hi all, I unsuccessfully tried to get disable/shlib-exit-calls.patch applied upstream, but in the end it was rejected. See the "Don't call exit in the shared library." threads (v3 and v4) in wine-patches/wine-devel this month.

I don't expect anyone working on this (but would love to be proven wrong). Therefore I suggest to drop this patch and add a lintian override explaining the situation.
