When I was looking around some Wine repositories on another computer, I
noticed that the Zorin OS guys have a Testing PPA for Wine builds with
wine-stable 2.0.2 and the missing .desktop files included in the package
(thereby fixing this usability bug). You can find the PPA here:
https://launchpad.net/~zorinos/+archive/ubuntu/wine-testing

After trying out their wine-stable 2.0.2 package in Ubuntu 17.10, I can
safely say that the menu entries they added work just as they did in the
stock wine1.6 package in Ubuntu 16.04. It might be worth taking a look
into what the Zorin OS guys did and incorporating it into the wine-
stable package in the official Ubuntu repositories.

P.S. I've also installed the xenial package for wine-stable 2.0.2 from
this Zorin OS PPA and it works very well under Ubuntu 16.04. Perhaps it
might be worth backporting Wine 2.0.2 to 16.04 users?
