[Bug 1205390] [NEW] wine1.6 shows up as "Notepad" in Software Updater

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

As shown in <http://i.imgur.com/bNvoxql.png>, the wine1.6 package gets
the name "Notepad".

It does contain Notepad, but that's not usually what you're interested
in when seeing it.

This could be fixed in several ways.

Probably the most elegant would be add something to the wine1.6 package
to tell the app-install-data-ubuntu script to ignore the Notepad
.desktop file.

Alternatively, add a special case to the app-install-data-ubuntu script
directly.

Or, add a "WINE Windows Compatibility Layer" .desktop file to the
wine1.6 package, that gets prioritized over the Notepad one somehow.
