Bug Description
Binary package hint: wine
...in 8 languages no less. This is simply wrong.
See /usr/share/
The "wine" process should be named "Wine Windows Executable Loader" or, if you think that's too scary, even if most accurate, "Wine Windows Program Loader" would be an alternative.
(Please don't consider calling it "Windows Application Loader". The term "application" is too abstract and doesn't correspond correctly with executables.)

I would agree with this. I think that Wine Windows Executable Loader makes the most sense. What is the current term used?
