Bug#986650: winetricks: move from contrib to main



Package: winetricks
Version: 0.0+20210206-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

a recent threat on debian-devel [1] revealed that winetricks falls into
the same category as other packages that are happily sitting in main.
Specifically, winetricks not only allows to download non-free software
but also DFSG-free software like dxvk or faudio. As such it is in the
same category as many other packages in main that allow to download both
free and non-free binaries from the internet if the user requests it to
do so.

Since other packages that allow to download and run non-free stuff are
allowed in main I think winetricks can be uploaded to main.

The advantage would be that this would make it easier for our users to
install winetricks.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
