The discussion ended without a conclussion, be it for yes or for no.

Upstream's packages are monolithic, though, without a separate binfmt
package, thus it's a valid dilemma there.  Your packaging is different.

I just realized: as there's nothing that can make wine-binfmt automatically
installed (the only relationships are Suggests:), this question has already
been answered by the user: they made the manual step of installing this
package.  On Debian, it is split out, and has no other contents than the
binfmt.

Thus, every user who would want to answer "no" to such a debconf question
wouldn't install the package.


Meow!
