No, it's exactly the same package. The installer of every .deb package just has an additional file "winehq.list" with the following contents: deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt intrepid main Which must be installed into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. Also, the scripting capabilities of .deb packages should make it possible to add the authentication key. The same goes for .rpm and their respective updating mechanism. It's like the packages sanitize their environment. Remco
