But do you actually know when the 1.8 release will happen? Although I
hope that it will be before Stretch, I don't think we can take this for
granted. Or it might happen too late for larger changes like this.

The closest I could find is this from February by Michael Stefaniuc
(https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2015-February/106509.html):
"Version 1.8 is not even in sight as the two major features Android and
CSMT are still far away."

Therefore I suggest to go ahead with the alternatives setup now
*without* unifying the packaging yet, while already implementing it in a
way that doesn't have to be changed later on.
