Hi Jens,
As stated there in the changelog message, it is required to be able to
execute "./debian/rules binary" without invoking fakeroot.
If you try it without fakeroot, you will get this error currently:
dh_testroot: You must run this as root (or use fakeroot).
Why debhelper adds dh_testroot lines for wine's binary targets, I'm
not sure. I haven't looked into it yet, but that must be fixed first
to be able to correctly set RRR:no for the packages.
By the way, thank you for getting the new mailing list set up.
Best wishes,
Mike
