Package: wine-bin
Severity: important
Version: 1.6.2-22

Dear wine maintainers,
I am currently trying to deploy Wine on Linux systems at a school, but miss the wine.desktop file (at files around it). In debian/changelog a removal of the wine.desktop file is not mentioned.
Without that file, it is not possible to execute .exe files with Wine via the context menu (right-click on the .exe file) in common file browsers (Caja, Nautilus et al.).
As a workaround, I now provided these files as found (and slightly modified) in the wine-bin Debian squeeze package: 

  /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop
  /usr/share/pixmaps/wine.xpm
  /usr/share/mime-info/wine.keys
  /usr/share/mime-info/wine.mime
  /usr/lib/mime/packages/wine-bin
Can you explain, why the desktop integration has vanished from the Wine packages in Debian? If there is no good explanation, then I'd highly appreciate this getting fixed soon. Please also fix the issue in Debian jessie. THANKS! 

Or am I missing something???

If any help is needed, please let me know.

Mike

I see wine more as an engine, so cluttering up menus is not desirable.
Frontends like winetricks, q4wine, or playonlinux are a far better way
to launch and manage wine.

This is a different problem, and intentionally disabled by default.
You'll need to install wine-binfmt and follow  README.debian to get
that working.

Best wishes,
Mike
