Public bug reported:

Debian has 0.0+20151116-1
Ubuntu has a version from 2014.   

This package contains a lot of download links that have expired.

Unfortunately neither the Debian or Ubuntu package works as well as the 
upstream one.  In both cases, I get:
$ winetricks 
------------------------------------------------------
wineserver not found!
------------------------------------------------------

Whereas the upstream one gives me a nice menu and just works (It appears
this might be related to my prefix being 64 bit, Indeed, winetricks in
the archive only works on 32-bit for both Debian and Ubuntu - see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810658).

If we end up removing it from the archive -

I'm thinking we should still sync just because that gives us one place
to land a new version (Debian)..

Changelog:
  * Merge from Debian unstable. (LP: #1393145) Remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Move wine* from Depends to Recommends.
In 99% of cases you want wine installed.  The only case you don't is if you're 
building wine from source and in that case you likely want wintricks from 
source too.

      + Do not suggest libwine.
Still installs fine with this.  As we move to Debians packaging this will be 
useful again.

    - debian/install:
      + Fix install path for .desktop and .svg file.
    - debian/patches/10-option-gui.patch:
      + Dropped to get start with GUI worked.
These are both true issues in Debian.  Need to report there..  The gui item 
might be something they prefer that way.
