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?

We've been hearing that Electrolysis will be available "soon" for a long time now. Like since mid 2011 [mozilla.org]. It still isn't here yet, as we're about to enter 2015. Face it, Elecrolysis is a failed project. Even if they manage to get it into a stable release, they'll still have lagged Chrome by many, many years. That's a total failure.
