Although the thread was not completely in favor of doing so, I think there was a loose consensus that this is ok. I'm a DM, so I can't upload to NEW which (afair) is required for such a change. I'd appreciate it if you or some other DD directly took care of that after the freeze (without me preparing this trivial change upload). Since I'm in the process of stepping down as Debian maintainer I generally welcome anyone taking over winetricks maintainership. Greets and sorry for the late answer jre
