[pkg-wine-party] Bug#852989: wine-development: please do not build-depend on oss4-dev on Linux

Source: wine-development
Version: 2.0~rc2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: release team consensus

This package build-depends on oss4-dev, which is built by RC-buggy source
package oss4.

I discussed this with some release team members and their opinion is that
oss4 should only be used on non-Linux architectures: on Linux, we should be
using ALSA, either directly or via intermediaries like PulseAudio.
Please restrict the build-dependency to oss4-dev [kfreebsd-any] or possibly
oss4-dev [kfreebsd-any hurd-any], and if necessary set the configure options
so OSS is only requested on those architectures, similar to what is done in
vlc (>= 2.2.0~pre3-1).
