Wine 1.4 Backport notes

Have a new spanking build of Wine on Karmic using 1.4 from the Launchpad PPA.  Here's a few notes on what I noticed here.
  • I had to repackage wine1.3_1.4.orig.tar.gz to rename the folder to wine1.3-1.4
  • ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3 is back in this build.
  • changed the dependency debhelper >=5
  • removed gcc-4.4-multilib
  • removed oss4-dev
  • remove in /debian/rules CC="gcc-4.4" line 51
Rebuilt it and there were no build problems.  I installed it and it looked like it didn't find anything wrong.  winecfg and wineboot works fine.

Winetricks was backported from precise pangolin.  Very easy to update for Karmic.  Just update the debhelper >= 5 and change the compat file to 5.
