If you do not use an i386 architecture, or wish to compile the package in a special or optimized way, you can build the wine package using the source repository instead. Please, teach with the tools provided to you.
I know it’s hard for the more experienced people to use the simplified tools provided, but there is a reason why they are there. Teaching with the tools it lowers the bar even more for the regular users to start using ubuntu and start following the various guides. For example, enabling universe in feisty can be done with just a few clicks. Even better installing wine in ubuntu can be done with even fewer clicks.The downside on teaching tools is that it makes it more distribution specific. What works in Ubuntu doesn’t work on Kubuntu. Then again, if might be that what works on Ubuntu will work on Debian too.
