The wine-utils package contains free versions of several common Windows
utilities, built for use with wine.
The nsis package ships a Win32 binary which is a stub used for putting
together self-contained installers for Windows, which can subsequently be
tested under wine (the package even Suggests: wine for this).
One or both of these may be relevant if we're looking to the wine package in
main as precedent.
