Good, that was easy.

Let's do that, then.

My test build on linux-i386 shows me that these files are built:
/usr/lib/wine/winegstreamer.dll.so
/usr/lib/wine/fakedlls/winegstreamer.dll
Should those really be split off into a separate package? I see no real
benefit in doing so while splitting them off would certainly require
extra testing.
