We don't want to create an empty wine directory for no reason just to
make it browseable.  There are legitimate use cases for having Wine
installed but not having ~/.wine (eg, you only use it to run an App
depending on Wine that uses its own prefix)

Regardless putting that sort of logic in the maintainer script is
forbidden, since it would mess with a user folder (and only one user
too).


IMO what's needed here is for the desktop OS to be able to hide the browse C 
drive launcher if it doesn't actually point to anything.  In the past I've 
advocated Gnome for instance use a bookmark to ~/.wine/drive_c/, which would in 
turn autohide, but upstream didn't want to do it.  It might be an option for us 
though.
