Wine is not the default for exe files but mono

[Paulo Levi]

Lol.
dpkg -S /usr/share/binfmts/cli
mono-runtime: /usr/share/binfmts/cli

all contents of the file:
package mono-runtime
detector /usr/lib/cli/binfmt-detector-cli
interpreter /usr/bin/cli
magic MZ

i'm probably missing something, but my old ubuntu install had this
filled with other stuff. The packages certainly arent different, so
maybe it's part of some ubuntu base package (unity?) no longer used by
ubuntu-GNOME?
And the mono-runtime package notices that there is nothing there and
installs it's own just for it...
