Thanks. In the meantime I commited the .desktop file as a documentation
example (so you don't have to wget it) and give instructions how to
(un-)install it. Since I assume the same security considerations as for
binfmt support apply, we won't automatically enable this (in Debian).

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/*
/usr/share/applications/*
Looks like this gives application icons/launchers for browsedrive (never heard, 
but the name is clear), wine-notepad, wine-uninstaller and wine-winecfg do. I'm 
not really interested in adding these.

/usr/share/desktop-directories/*
I'm not exactly sure what these do, screenshots might help me to understand 
them. But looks like they are creating (sub-)sections to group apllication 
launchers (which?).
In my Debian Gnome system I think I don't even have these (sub-)sections for 
launchers. So is this really useful today, or a relict from the past? I assume 
this is for a completely other GUI philosophy, than what current Desktop 
Environments (at least Gnome, I don't know Unity) do, and thus not really 
wanted.

/usr/lib/mime/packages/wine
See e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport. I assume all functionality 
is given by the .desktop file today.

/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/wine.menu
If I'm not mistaken those aren't needed anymore, the menu system has been 
superseded by the .desktop system. The functionality should still be there.


So from my perspective I think everything is done. Please give specific 
descriptions/examples if I missed something.
