we have no maintainer lock in Ubuntu. So we either need to find somebody
who's willing to get updated packages into Ubuntu via the sponsorship
process:

The other option would be to remove the packages altogether, but if wine
upstream already provides packages, they could maybe be put into Ubuntu
using the process mentioned above?

Have a great day,
 Daniel
