Broken analysis due to a workaround. Here is the trace of the current problem:

$ winecfg
+ basename /usr/bin/winecfg .exe
+ appname=winecfg.exe
+ test -z
+ test ! -z
+ WINEPREFIX=/home/duck/.wine
+ test -e /home/duck/.wine/system.reg
+ wine=/usr/bin/wine
+ exec /usr/bin/wine winecfg.exe
/usr/bin/winecfg: 36: exec: /usr/bin/wine: not found

I'm not using wine directly but through playonlinux, thus there is no  
trace of me using wine-unstable in any reg file, this is a broken  
assumption.

Btw you also broke using playonlinux or other tools around because  
they all expect a "wine" binary and not "wine-unstable". Unless there  
is an alternative mechanism for choosing the default version i think  
using wine-unstable remains unusable (but using an alternative would  
probably break your current logic).
