A grave bug has been introduced into the "wine" package of Debian Jessie, just days before the November 5th freeze deadline. The /usr/bin/wine launch script fails with an "error: unable to find wine executable. this shouldn't happen." message.
Debian has already suffered much unrest lately over the inclusion of systemd, with threats of a fork being issued, along with the possible cancellation of the GNU/kFreeBSD port and the possible dropping of support for the SPARC architecture. After so much strife and disruption, can Debian afford to have such a serious bug affect such a critical package so soon before such a major freeze?

join the wine team and help fix it, you entitled kid...
in free software you receive a gift from developers and you are allowed to participate on the creative process
you are not a costumer and they are not trying to sell you anything... grab this into your forehead

Joining the Wine team won't help. This isn't a problem with Wine. This is a problem with Debian. Debian needs to fix their shit.

Why would I waste my time and effort volunteering for a failed organization like Debian? The whole systemd debacle should never have happened. And this bug never should have happened. I have better things to do with my time than work with inept groups of people.
