Binary package hint: wine1.2

After installation Wine associate some file-extensions with wine Notepad, Rundll32 and winhlp32.

I believe Wine is making the associations when it's run rather than at package-install time so it's going to be a user-specific thing and isn't actually a packaging bug but rather a Wine bug. So we need to open an upstream discussion to talk about how to handle this properly.

It fits into the more general problem of it being difficult to manage Wine-based programs on Open With.

No, I think it's can be solved in removing package (for purge method) script, by just delete instruction for all wine-extension in home/user/.local/share/applications and /home/user/.local/share/mine.
