[pkg-wine-party] Bug#792125: [wine] 01/01: Suggest to install dosbox.

[Jens Reyer]

control: tags -1 + patch

I've just committed a fix for this to the master branch of the git
repository which is currently used for wine-development.

So this issue will probably be fixed in wine with the next stable
release (1.8, which will probably happen this year), when the Debian
packaging is merged again.

Many thanks to Graham Inggs for fixing the blocking issues in dosbox.
