[pkg-wine-party] Sponsor for winetricks

[Jens Reyer]

Hi Joseph

thanks for working on the winetricks packages!

Did you consider moving winetricks to pkg-wine (setting it as
Maintainer, with you as uploader, and moving the git repository)?

I'm not a DD, but reviewed anyway:

Change to github, and maybe mention Austin English instead/additionally
to Dan Kegel. I don't know 100% of winetricks history, but
"winetricks.org" (registered by Dan Kegel) redirects so github

Note, current is 3.9.8

You might ask upstream to sign the git tags. (Hey Austin :) )



With wine (>= 1.8-2) and wine-development (>= 1.9.1-1) you definitely
can close #782680 (winetricks: wrong arcitecture used for winetricks)
and #807045 (winetricks output: wineserver not found!). You may make the
dependencies in d/control versioned and close them in the changelog.


btw, did you consider providing jessie-backports?
